Want to build a custom garage (pics?)

If you are looking at 5 acres I would put up the biggest shop you can afford. No matter how big...YOU WILL FILL IT ! For economy I would look at metal buildings. If you need to help justify it you can store peoples cars for X amount of dollars.

You have much better friends than I do Charley, mine just want to store, they get down right offended about the "pay" part....

"but you've got all this room..." Damn straight I do, and it's for my junk, not yours.

In the past, then you could build as big as you afford. Although, now cities are restricting the size of the garage size to about 50% footprint of the house, or restricting types of materials for the garage. So, you need to look at cities codes on what they let you build. Most of these cities list the codes on their websites for garages or some call them accesory structure.

We're buying out in the country. No HOAs or anything like that. I'm fairly certain that the sky's the limit out there. But i'm planning on something pretty simple. That garage journal website is awesome. I got a lot of great ideas from there.
