Hello everyone,
Obviously new here. Let me start by saying you guys are crazy... and I'm jealous! Some outstanding builds here... well done to all.
Getting to the point. I am in the process of building a "shop". I already have a two car garage attached to the house, so I started out with the basic idea of buying a shed that was 12 x 20 and just using that. That expanded to a shed 12 x 32, which went to 14 x 32. That turned into a real garage that was 20 x 20. Which has recently come down to the maximum that my wife will allow me to have before she says it's too big, 24 x 24.... for now.
Anyway, my question for today should be simple. This will basically be used as a one car garage with the other half as the shop, storage for the motorcycle, snowmobiles, work area... etc. Since this is a two car garage, I have the choice between one big door and two 9 x 8's. This will sit at the back of my property, so will probably only have one car width drive leading up to it, then widen as it approaches the shop. So based on what I will be using the garage for... and possible future uses... which should I choose? One big or two smaller? BTW, my two car on the house is a single big door.
Let me see if I can.... get some... sketchup pics........... yes, I think I can. See attached with my single big door idea. Thanks for the suggestions... and feel free to make recommendations on other things as well... like how do I put stairs in to get to the loft. Your expertise is needed.
