I'd offer that garage space to my eldest son to turn into a living space or my mother. She loves her small home and independence though but as she ages, it would be ideal for our family.
The slope of your concrete driveway flows directly into the garage doors. It appears that you should have brought in fill to raise the new garage about 18" -- 24" to prevent water flooding into the garage when it rains. You can avert this problem by cutting a diversion channel through the concrete driveway and installing a filtered, underground large diameter (12" at least) French drain that drains water around the founcation of the new garage. Just a suggestion. You may have installed the water protection I am recommending.
Yes sir, You are very observant to notice that.It was something we struggled with. We could have made it 1 block higher but didn't want the back of the side porch to be above 30" Which would require railings that the did not want. Our concrete installers were able to work out the slope and the grade so that water does not flow into the garage. But you are correct, generally we don't want to cut it that close :)
@@calson7823 I hope your concrete contractor got it right and I wish you the best. If there is a problem, installing a French drain with a rustproof metal grate across the driveway would be the cheapest fix and it protects the foundation of the garage. It is a beautiful project and I particularly like the stone veneer (or real stone) outer substrate. The 2" x 6" construction is very smart. It is a well built project.
Awesome. I was wondering if a year down and rebuild. My first thing is to add a addition cause I work from home doing Upholstery. Plus add a bath tub for my mother-in-law cause she had a stroke and is only able to move one side. I wish you all could do but I'm in Michigan.
Love the garage excuse to build a separate home for the kids that won't leave the nest. Great way to avoid the extra taxes. We done the plumbing so they can add a sink later. Oh ok lmao. Nice job though.
This is clearly my dream garage/workshop, especially with the 49 - 51 GMC pickup truck which I believe is a 7 unit version. In my next life, as age is coming to fast and as a 75 year old, don’t have the giddy up go I once had😔
Is this considered a garage? How is this assessed for property taxes? And is the square footage of the garage considered part of the house since the garage looks like a small cottage?
So it's a 2 bay garage but with only 1 door. So to have 2 cars in there you will have to move one to get the other out. And at least one car will always be in the way if you make it a work shop and nobody will want a workshop on the 2nd floor. Lugging lumber, plywood up to the 2nd floor gets old real fast. Make it a full workshop or make it a full 2 car garage or make it a full guest house ...just pick one.
i'm interested in the cost for the house only, If you built this house what is the full price, the whole package deal, I have the land and very interesed in the cost to build the house only, Donot want extra building just the house, Thank you Joyce Jones
Hey there! Thanks for your interest! 😊 We like to keep things a little mysterious sometimes, but if you're curious about size or price, shoot us a message and we'll spill the beans! 🌟🏡 Let's chat! Best, Mike
@UCb8h6GgiHxoYqmjqaTLp2hg @ Spoken like a true snowflake. I especially liked the part about the fat wife. I am sure that your degree in visual arts will nail down that great job sooner or later. With bad credit you are probably back living with mom and dad. Maybe mom and dad can teach you about their 40 years of good work ethic and holding down a good job. I couldn’t hold back when I saw your comment admitting that you are feeble, have bad credit, a student debt. Maybe grandpa Joe will erase your student debt and continue handing out free government money to people like you that have truly screwed up this country. The finger points straight back at you. Back to the Ensure while I sit in my mortgage free home
