Need help figuring out roof lines

[thetruck454]

Not the idea situation, but I want to add on to my existing garage. I've taken pictures of the side I want to add on to. I also attached what I want my floor plan to be (with toys to make sure they fit). The addition will start just behind the electrical meter and I'll turn that window into a doorway into the garage addition. I'm also moving the shed to the back yard if I can figure out how to do it in one piece. The problem I'm having is I have zero idea how to make the roof work. I can't figure out how to make a new roof to tie into both existing roof lines. I don't have room for a detached garage, down fall on living on the seacoast, land is hard to find. I'm most likely going to hire out the foundation and framing and then just do the electrical/insulation myself, but I want to have an idea before I go to a contractor.

Any suggestions?

In your plan, that narrow "slot" in the back...I would eliminate that...its going to get moldy, be a pain to finish, alien weeds growing out of it, etc.

I think as SSDave has put it, that slot would be taken up by the intersection of the back part with your new part.

Unless setbacks or codes or something require differently, I'd just re-run my electrical to somewhere else, and add on a direct side addition to the garage. Gable roof it perpendicular to the existing garage. That would eliminate the impact on the side of the house, and make the roof a lot easier to work out.

The power that feeds that comes from a pole on the opposite side of the house and goes underground under the existing garage and driveway so my fear is that it would take some time with the power company.

If I did that I'd run the roof line perpendicular right? If that's the case the existing garage is only 30 ft wide so doesn't that lock me into adding only a 30ft deep section? Or could I go with a higher peak on the addition and get more length that way?
