Hello from NH!
This past fall we broke ground on our semi-detached 30x44 garage.
8 Years ago, I talked my wife into buying this house that was newly built in the exact location and style of the 200 year-old farmhouse that had recently burnt in the same spot. It was vacant, not weather-tight and calling it unfinished would be putting it lightly. I promised her that I would "have it all fixed up in no time," and build a garage in 3 years. So, eight years, 2 dogs, 2 kids, a 950sqft farmers porch, 18x26 pole barn and a massive custom play structure for the kids, we still don't have baseboard or window trim in our master bath, but we broke ground on my (our) dream garage (with compromises and concessions).
Original House circa 1860:
Original House 1974:
New House when we bought it:
New House after Farmers Porch:
Plans For Garage:
