That's larger than my home's entire lot.
I guess you know I'm jealous.
Joking aside that's a great building with amenities you're constructing.

Lucky man. Lot's of toys and now an even bigger toy box. Is your friend moving the original building or keeping it on your site?

Old garage will have project cars that are due for a restoration. His other building is a pretty nice place.

20 x 60 mezzanine at the end with the 8' door should be done today.

Lowest part of the roof along the edges will be still be over 6'. We used scissor trusses for part of that side of the building, so you can stand up there and still see the entire span of the floor.

New garage builds are almost as much fun as new garage finds. Congrats, looks great!

Garages are good. Yours is a beauty. Love the size of it. The bigger they are, the more cars you put in them. I never thought my barn would seem small, but I put too many car in it.

Enjoy it. The build is very exciting, but playing with the cars inside is better.

It is incredible. I hope I can one day post pictures when it is loaded. I think anyday we move from working in a parking lot to our carport or single bay garage we are living the dream. If that was my place, it would be like the neighbor’s, big house and no furniture!

love it!! I went to a wedding last night and I’m looking around the reception hall thinking what an awesome garage this would make. My wife looks at me and says “I know what you’re thinking.
