I dont even have space like that around my house, so a nice garage would be out of the question unless I moved. Its like a traffic jam of houses around here. I could spit through my neighbors window and hit him.... accurately.

Yeah times were better back then, now isn't a bad time to build either (low interest rates, materials aren't too high,etc) May be different in you area, idk. Land is super high around here is the only down fall. I only had one condition when I bought my land, that was I had to be able to pee in my yard without the neighbors seeing me.:laugh:

That would be nice, but, id have to tunnel through a mountian side.

I remember that thread of your sisters. Awsome setup:claps:.







I turned all that paper work in today. In 60 to 80 days I should close. Probably wont start building until spring though. Keep the garage pics coming, love to see em!!!

Bank loan came through. Here is my build thread......

I spent most of last fall cutting down tree's in the front yard (wish I had a before pic).

Here is a pic of the front yard (with tree's already cut.)

Because I was digging out the bank in the back yard, I had the excavator move some dirt, dig the stumps, and smooth everything out for a nice yard.

Here is the start of one giant hole/soon to be garage.

I plan on seeding the yard this weekend. Hopefully with weather permitting I will have my footers dug by the middle of next week.

Thanks for looking!!!
