like some help with garage plans please.

+1. After seeing this I'm sure that I'm going to need intensive therapy and meds for some time, but I gotta see more!!

 

Man that is a sweeet garage

 

I join in with the bigger is better crowd.
Build it as big as you can afford to build it.
(lot size and local laws not withstanding)
I built a 20 X 40 with a folding par***ion in the middle (well, off center a bit) that I can close and heat/cool the half I'm working in.
I've since added a full length (40ft) lean-to shed on one side, two out buildings and a metal building for the tractors/lawnmowers.
My winter project is cleaning out the workshop so I can work on the coupe.
After nearly 20 years it's really bad.

 

Forget the house, how big is the garage?! I hope to have something like that one day. Maybe after i win the lottery.

 

That's really a great looking place! To think that you fell your own lumber makes it all the more special. Well done, very well done.

 

I bought ours as a kit from Meeks Lumber. 24 x 48. Added the rear door, had the trusses pre-fabbed, and had a pro do the concrete work, other than that my son and I put every nail in it. Have about 24 grand in it so far, not insulated or dry walled yet though, but still cozy.

First stop...Building Department!! See what you and can't build.I lucked into a VERY helpful Plans Inspector who walked me through the entire process.Also found out that plans drawn by a commercial enterprise needed to be stamped by a state licensed engineered, but if I drew my own plans I was good to go.
