Custom Garage

A New Garage!

(Imagine Price is Right music here)

Well the snow hasn't melted yet (25 March).  Everyone is sad... but the garage looks great.

This is the existing garage attached to the house.  The new garage was designed as a compliment to it.

Note how the brick stands out slightly from the stucco, creating a rebate.

This feature was imitated on the new garage but without the use of brick.  Brick would require footings at 4' below grade, which would add significantly to the cost.

Instead, we used 2x4 framing at the rebates, and 2x6 framing everywhere else.

All in all a pleasing little structure...

Actually not little at all.  The footprint stands at 20'x32'.  The roof line is achieved with 14" wooden i-beams, so the space is entirely open on the inside.  Approximately 8 1/2' ceiling height at the front, up to 14' at the back!

It's downright voluminous in there!

Now, if the snow would just melt, we could get a new driveway in there...
