Nice future digs teach....but I am curious on the car doors. Are those 12' wide? That's gonna be a tight turn to clear if you plan to park 3 cars side by side...one will have to really turn into the middle sharply. My guess is this will be a 2 car.
My garage is 30' long too but I put in a 16' wide door and a 8' wide third car door. By having the 16' door, I can fit 3 cars side by side with plenty of car door room...and why I am asking about the garage car doors width and car capacity requirements...my garage doors.....
View media item 79658My doors are also 9ft tall...keep us posted on the progress...are you planning on insulated doors? ...any windows? ....30 amp electrical service. or more? any water service? ....is it going to be heated? In NC, would be nice to put a mini split in it.

No water or plumbing in the garage. The doors are 9 wide. Planning for it to be a two car garage with possibly having space for a Classic to work on. I didn’t want windows. I will be doing the electrical. I haven’t decided about how many amps I’ll put in yet. It will be a sub panel from the house. Not heated and not insulated at this time. Maybe after I get the final inspection.

It wouldn't hurt to put in a couple windows. I can't count the number of times I've been in the shop and the power went out. Before I had windows it was a bumping, painful walk to the door. Now it's pretty easy. Sometimes I don't even turn on the lights to do things. If you are concerned about folks window shopping, then frost them. It's what I did.

Got roof, soffits done, installed J Trim and starter strip. Waiting for siding to come in and be delivered, had to order it to match the house

I agree there is a real value in adding window.

I see free windows almost everyday on Craig's List and at the shop of a local contractor who installs new vinyl replacement windows.
