Posted this over at Autogeek a couple of weeks ago but never got around to posting it here. So here goes!
So a couple of months ago I moved with my dad to a different house (parents are separated, and I am not financially secure, blah blah blah). Anyway, the house we moved to was built in 1967, and only has a single car attached garage. So, my dad decided he wanted to build a garage.
It will be 24` by 24`, with 2 windows (1 on the right, 1 on the left with a side entry door), overhead storage, adequate lighting, a water spigot (current spigot is basically on the other end of the house), 16` premium garage door, 8` ceiling, fully insulated, vinyl siding, shingled roof, and a heating/cooling unit that can be turned on and off as needed. The old blacktop driveway is also going to be torn up and replaced with concrete. The concrete in the garage and the driveway will be done at the same time.
I will keep this thread updated with pictures as I take them.The company he has a contract with should have it completed before the end of January. It can`t be done soon enough, because I am stuck parking outside for now!
