The Alter Ego Garage

[ErVikingo]

Plans are with the structural engineer. Expect to go into permitting in 30 or so days!

HOA approval, check; landscape architecture ( a requirement here ) check; MEP engineering, check; financing, cash ( get it ?)

All else is organized and ready to go! Lot looks like a golf course ,right now.

Hi from a fellow (SW) Broward resident... Very nice plans, a bit jealous actually.

Ah... Permitting... the bane of much of s.FL.

All else is organized and ready to go! Lot looks like a golf course ,right now.

Since it looks like a golf course, you may want to find a nice high corner of the lot (or a neighbor's) that you can take a pic from... that shows everything (or even one from each corner).

If you can get one a day (maybe every other day during slow times and more on especially busy days) you'll be able to put them together at the end of the build and have a cool little "movie" of your house being built. It may not be as interesting to others... but after all of the time, thought, and headaches you're about to invest it probably will be to you. (Rather than a "movie," you could also put them in a digital frame that can be set to run thru the build.)

Anyway, hope it goes well for you I love to see things well built.

Hi! It has been a veeeery long process. Can't wait.

Hambro is preparing their package for the permit documents this week and MEP should also be completed by Friday.

How familiar are you with Weston?

I will set up a camera, must find a good one I can leave there.

Fair I'm only a few miles away.

Just tried to send you a PM with more info... never tried that before, so let me know if it worked.

 

[ErVikingo]

I've come to find out that timing estimates are not always reliable.....

I finally have MEP drawings in draft and final structurals today! Coordinating last details whilst roof designs are completed. Then permitting.

 

[OHSCrifle]

Wow. Blast from the past.

 

[ErVikingo]

Final structural drawings and draft electrical for the daily garage and the workshop!. Redlines going out this week for final "tweaking". Getting closer.......! (oh yeah, there is a house attached to this shop).

Workshop and then daily.

Great cars, great design!

I agree, the 911 series turned... less attractive... in '97. Really not a fan of that next revision.

IMO the 964 is the nicest looking. And everything changed forever once they let go the air cooled engines after the 993.

weird that the images (last one) shows with red marking son my phone, but all black and white on the computer...

 

[ErVikingo]

Can't comment on the red markings when you look at it on your phone. I'm on an IPad right now and they show correctly.

Roof drawings just received!

Back to 911's, 964 in particular. Very muscular yet subdued. A+

Now that is weird. Its an IPad issue

NIce garage & nice cars, I race a 968 with PCA so if you ever come up to the mid-west I'm #465. Will be at Puntum next weekend and Road America at the end of the month.

What kind of glue did they use on THAT car?

 

[ErVikingo]

Only the best quality german super glue by way of Cupertino California...

Power is nothing without grip

Subscribing, looks like a great project. I've always really liked the idea of a parking garage and separate workshop/garage.

 

[metalhead140]

Wow, quite the drawn out process! Looks like it will be amazing though, looking forward to seeing your updates as it's built.

 

[ErVikingo]

In the meantime....

Since I have no updates on the build, here is a photo from the grid at Sebring this weekend (before I went out and won the 45 minute night race overall!)

forms are off...!

Sweet build fellow Floridian!! The only part of this build that concerns me is the lack of Corvettes.

I'm highly tempted by one of the new ones. Let's see what can be done once we are done with the build.

 

[cbacres]

Er, looks like a great layout. Look forward to watching your build. One thing I noticed is you're not lacking bathrooms in your shop area!
I can't imagine permitting a house where you are. I do permitting all over the state, but it is mainly industrial. Some of the stuff they come up with is unreal.

 

[ErVikingo]

and that is why it took so long. Even landscaping was drawn out...
