Nice looking garage, but down the road you are going to hate that post in the center. I had one in my last garage and it was always in the way. My new one doesn't have one and I love it.
Just my opinon.

Post is not centered. It was placed 1/3 of the way rather then the middle. Doors will do not come near the poll. Good observation though.

Great till they re-assess your property taxes, at least it's detached. That'll save you a few bucks. Looks awesome
