    Garage project
    « on: November 24, 2012 - 07:20:55 AM »
    Garages are never big enough so I`m adding a 18x24 extension off the back of the current 24x 25.Should give me enough room to store all my projects and still be able to work on `em!  :bananasmi

    Im envious!  :clapping:
    Just wondering why you made it offset to the existing building? Wouldn't it have been cheaper/easier to just extent it?

    Setback-the existing garage is at an angle to the side lot line so to keep the 25` I need I had to offset it 3`.

    Looks great!  You'll love the extra space.

    That looks like it will be very nice.  Are you going to open the back wall up?

    I`ll be moving the garage door on the back to the new extension on the side and may make a slider for the opening so I keep the back area separate for paint work.

    If I could afford bigger it would be but after a couple years in an apartment without a garage I`m very happy!

    are you going to pour pads for the lift that you will want to buy in 2 years? If you ever thought of getting one now is the time.

    Ah gotcha ! Around here they won't let you build that close to the well. Seems to be lots of garage builds around here lately! I'm so wishing I could build one! Never seems to be big enough... or have enough room! :grinno:
    Having what I have keeps me to one car.... I guess maybe thats a good thing! :lol:
    Will it be tall enough for a lift?

    Nice way to go, wish I had the room! I will admit limited space @ the house has stopped more than one brilliant idea. I'm sure the new size will inspire new projects!  :thumbsup:
