Thanks for the comments guys...I would have posted a while back...but I've been out driving
Not too many top down days here, I'm trying to get them in while I can.
BTW I love the cars and garage! Any more pics of the house and garage?! I need ideas floating in my head for someday :laugh:
I have some pictures on my website that show some aspects of the house...the garage is directly under the master bedroom, which I finished about 7 years ago.
Few things about the garage that were a must for me.
1) A block foundation. Studs and drywall are fine for most, but if you think you will be washing the car in the garage come winter, do it right.
2) If you are married, you will need to go without a center pole in a double bay garage. If you have one, she'll hit it. I went with a 12" steel I beam to keep from needing a center support.
3) If you go with 2 single doors like mine, fill the block solid with concrete. Again, if you are married, she will hit it. Mine hit the center partition within her first week of parking in the new garage.
I also have a 12" I beam above the doors incase it gets knocked out. You can never be too safe...
Here's some pics of the inside with my Tour on stands...
This gives and idea of the back of my house...deck is from the master bedroom, which is above the garage.
And a few pics from after I finished my driveway...
And a flower bed for the wife...
Go easy on me with the work done...everything you see I've done myself, and by no means am I in the construction biz.
