New garage
« on: June 08, 2023, 21:07:40 »
I just had a new garage built.  From start to finish it was about 2 weeks.  I now have the space so I don't have to keep moving cars around just to get one out.  The new garage is 24'x24'.  The old one is 24'x32'.  The shed is 12'x20'.  I have to wait a few days to drive on the new pavement.

I am jealous Brad ! You can never have too much space or storage areas!
Looks good

Yes, someone already said that to me :)  I bet it won't be very long before I need more space again.  At least for now I can finally get everything inside.

I hope each garage has the ceiling height for a lift!

You need to tear them all down. You need a pole barn to store your car collection; not a collection of garages!  ;)

Rod, it is not high enough for a lift. I wish it was but the cost was high as it is.  I'm just glad to be able to get the cars out without moving everything around.  I may be able to get a low rise lift in.  I think the inside is 9'

Mike, I should have done the pole barn when we built the house.  The hill is steep though and that has caused my building cost to be high.  It seems that every time you get enough money to do something the cost has gone way up.

All of the cars are inside now...  I have to run electricity and finish the walls inside.  I have all summer to tinker around.  :)
