Looks great. Love the layout of your house too. How are your screen doors installed? Do they slide to open?

Pretty cool looking
But the gravel drive would make me nuts. I assume you plan to pave that some day. Is there another garage door?

The screens are 4’ wide panels that slide in upper and lower tracks…made by a company in NY called GarageAire. Very reasonably priced and they pop out in a matter of seconds if you want to remove ‘em.
Thanks for noticing the shine…6 hours of labor over the weekend.

My driveway is just over a ¼ mile long…I’m not ready to invest in my own drag strip just yet.
I have two connected but separate garages…you can see the door on the other garage in the last pic.

Beautiful job, looks awesome.
Can you PM on the full cost of the sliding doors for your garage. I would love to have those as well, thanks.

Looks like a super-nice place you raise a young corvette, wish I had a bedroom like that when I was a kid

The floor design utility on RaceDeck’s website is sweet…I messed around with different floor designs for days on that thing.

That's pretty pimp, very well done. As long as you are posting pictures, can you post some of the rest of the house, you have me curious.
Beautiful job, looks awesome.
