they came out yesterday and staked off the garage. they said either the end of this week or the first of next they will start digging. :bananaman
Contratulations John, that is sweet!! I know you'll be happy to have a place to put your tools, other than the van!! You're right about not wanting to build one too big, being a real estate appraiser I have a some insight on this. Some people want a garage, some people don't. Very few want a MASSIVE garage, so that limits your market when you go to sell. Keep it reasonable and it should appeal to a larger segment of the market when you go to sell.
if you know your going to stay there, build the biggest you can afford. the price of real estate has skyrocketed here and everyone says i'm going to make a killing because i have 5 lots. i tell them i'm not going to make a penny as i plan on dying here. my heirs can worry about selling the place.
of course we never know what might happen tomorrow, but my plans are to move one more time in a couple years.....thats when the big building will be done
If they have the form made and wire down ?, that would be a good sign. We have been waitin for some concrete to be poured to finish a project for 2 weeks now, it rained for 10 straight days here up until Monday. Good luck with it John.
Thanks Rick... Well no pouring of the hard stuff today.... maybe tomorrow These contractors have their own little world they live in
grounds been dug out and leveled, footer is dug....the concrete is suppose to be poured in the morning~~~~~~!
John, kick ass!!!! I bet you are pumped up. :bananaman I'm excited for you!! I drew up plans for a garage and got some estimates. A lot of $$$$$ due to digging out a hill. My plans incorperated a bachalor pad upstairs with dancing pole, bar, water bed and the whole works.:evilsmile My wife was pissed!!!!!! I'm probably going to go with high ceilings instead to fit a lift at a later date. Good luck!! Hope everything runs as smooth as possible.
Nick, its a good thing we do not live close to each other....we'd (double message there ) I got pic's Rick ....I was going to wait until it is done and do a start to finish thingie block starts getting laid Monday.
na na na here is a couple pics there will be a 18x18 foot pad in front of the garage. Got to have a court for the b-ball games. Got to show them boys who the player is
