Post Number 1! for the garage.
28'X40' garage. have been thinking of this addition for a few years now and this summer I'm going to make it happen. Short background, my wife and I have lived in our house for 4 years and it has little storage and a small attached garage. When we moved in she had a car, we could park her car and my 2500 diesel truck in the garage with little issue. Shortly after we moved in we got a dog, got rid of the car and got a Dodge Journey. Now the garage was tight to park both vehicles in the garage and store anything in the garage. October 2017 we had a baby, bye bye Journey, hello Suburban! Which fits nicely in the garage alone. having a diesel truck sitting outside in Minnesota all winter *****. Time for a dodge house (dog house).
I had an excavator come in and remove and stump about 75 trees to clear the area, sorry the first picture is so dark but I forgot to take a picture day one. Naturally the location of the garage is in the lowest part of my property so 30 loads of fill needed to be brought in to raise the building site about 3 and a half feet to not have all of the water from my yard drain into the building.
One week in and the lot is clear and building site is raised and level. A week or two of water and packing the fill, I will pour concrete.
