New house is on it's way...

[The70RT]

Nice Troy. Gotta love the breezeway. My front garage is connected to the house with a  breezeway. In high winds we get the wind tunnel effect but like you said from the house to the car you keep dry. If your neighbors are anything like mine they will love you when you power up your tools

That's a beautiful home! ......I don't even know you,  and I'm happy for you      - - it looks great man! 

BTW, my garage is 30 X 22 and gets (very hot) in the summer.  I installed two large industrial ceiling fans for extra ventilation - - makes a BIG difference. Just a thought before the wiring goes in

i have 3 car garage. House is split level (also they call it Cali style) and first floor, including garage stays very cool from the concrete floor. A/C keeps top floor cool no problem. Problems is that it gets pretty cool in winter in the garage also and I dont like to work on Charger in those conditions.

awesome dude!! i remember you saying you were looking for another house that would have an accomodating garage for a bunch of rides.. that just doesn't give you much to choose from. so you did the best thing. BUILD it how you want it.. lol you should have got with me on your materials.. one call could have saved you 15% or more on.. WOOD.. lol

Now I can FINALLY check out your pics! Work Nazi's had me locked out.
That's a great looking house & garage, that's gonna be totally cool when it's done!

Can't wait to see finished pics of your garage.
When you have time, scope out some of the ideas on this site; http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/ There's tons of ideas that are good to think of before everything's all buttoned up in your garage.

Lookin good. It will be nice when it is done But what it a "portacache"?

Basically, it's a fancy carport.. The roof line of the garage extends to the front of the "carport", so the garage and carport are a complete structure.

That will be nice that way

Hey Troy.  Congrats on the new home.  It looks like a sweet lookin' home.  We have the opposite pie shape with a big backyard.  Are you doing the yard?  I put sprinklers, seeded the yard and all the trees and landscaping.  It was like therapy back then, I really hate not being able to mow the yard anymore.  Your garage looks like the ceiling's are low, too low for a lift?
Our next home will have a 3 car garage with at least one stall having a high ceiling for a 2 post lift.

If there's one thing we learned is you have to stay on top of those home builders.

Hey there Mike.. We talked about a above-average ceiling, but we pretty much reached our financial comfort zone and I didn't want to push it.. Maybe later I might be able to do something... The front and sides of the house will be sodded. I'll be responsible for the back yard.. We'll probably push the limit and get the sprinkler system.. I'll probably approach the firm that does it out there for the house and see if they can do it for me without a middle-man... My present house has a sprinkler system and really like it.......

Here's the latest as of Friday.. I'll go out there today and see what they did Sat.... Keeping the pressure on the builder is essential, but in good and bad ways...... The builder said that a covered walkway from the portacache to the back door wasn't doable, that the breezeway HAD to be connected to the front corner of the garage... Fine and dandy, I have no problem where the breezeway is, but I do want a covered path from the portacache to the back door. Don't want to have to open the garage door, go through the garage, close the garage door when it's raining..... Told them id they can't do that, then they need to take the "Custom" part out of "Darling Custom Homes"... 

Hope alls well in your neck Mike..........

Here are some more progress pics.....  Needless to say I have a lot going on with this house, the selling of my current house and the current contract offer on my Mom's house... Oh, did I fail to mention I also have the anxiety of having my '68 finished up? Hopefully by year's end this garage will be filled with Mopar........ 
Of course, many of the pics are of the 4-car tandem garage and portacache..

I can already see that the garage is too small, you might have to enclose the portacache and bump it out another 20 feet.
