The perfect garage

[1bad66]

I have been designing homes and garages for 15 years, and have never heard anyone ever say "I built it to big". always go bigger than what you think you need. You can go to my web site www.houseplanbroker.com and look at some of the garages I have designed. I can design you one from scratch if need be.

Ok good timing - as I'm about to fit the garage out here..



Hersh,

Mate post some pictures of your garage and workshop..

I'm looking - the best garage re fit that I have seen was on site here. It was an Art deco fuel station that was converted into a house and garage show room. Damn I just cannot find it. Can you remember it as it was before and after photos. Mmm think it was on site here as there were some Street Rod/s in it.

I'll keep look Stiffmeister....

Guy's,


Thanks for your asistance (I knew I would get a great responce)....

I will post some pic's of the land so people can get a better idea
of the placement and lie of the land so to speak.

The plan is to build the garage then live in it while the house is demolished and rebuilt.

Keep posted.

This guy has a living room, kitchenette and office all in his garage, where he can stare at his fleet of sports and off-road cars.

Hey Stiff

Its a pitty you didn't mention this earlier 'coz the Daytona Factory visit was just around from my brothers place.

It might be worth your while to do a shed run, check out the layout and actual size of the space and how much more you might want and how you might lay out/use them.

To my knowledge special permission might be required to live in your shed and you may see an arrangement that could be useful.

Lemmie know if you're interested and I can put you in touch.

You can build anything...

Hi Guy's,


Some pic's of the backyard as it stands now.

I want the garage to be made of Besser bricks and then rendered, so it looks like part of the new house and not an eye sore. I know the tin/metal sheds are cheaper but they dont look that good and are hot in the summer (I like cold beer)

When I rebuild the house it will have an open rear area overlooking the garage, I want it to be a feature.

For some reason I had a rural block pictured in my head Stiffy.

Have you checked with council regarding the allowable size of shed, also check how close you can be to the boundary, and confirm the proximity as either wall or gutter.
Do you have plans drawn up for the house yet and any modifications happening to it?

[stiffy]

BOXHEAD,


I contacted the relevant Council Dept's BEFORE I purchased the house.

They have stated up to 14 Meters long and up to 6 Meters High.
The rest is up to me. They were not to keen on the 4/5 hoists (they thought i was setting up a business) and it was a GIRL so what would she know..

It depends on the neighbours regarding the finer details BUT based on the existing structures and current building regs (they change often) I can do the above.

The garage is more important than the house at the moment.
The house is livable and there is only me and 4 cats......

The house design will depend on the Garage Design. I will knock the old one down and start from fresh.

.........even more reason to get an architect, Stiff. The cats'll love ya for it! Might even attract some fluff, and don't we love that stuff.

[stiffy]

Richardferguson,

I will definately be using an architect (my only dilemma is which one to use)

I know so many through work, I will have to send out a brief.

A friend of mine always said if you want a HOUSE use a draftperson if you want a HOME use an architect.

I agree......

Now just to work out how many plasmas, fridges and bar stools I will need.........

Just fill the whole block with a massive shed / kit home all in one.

Funny how the shed / garage dream takes over.

Don't forget the pole to slide down from the mezzanine floor and the turntable to spin the car around for a quick getaway.

The pole could also double up for pole dancing nights when the stray cats come around.

To the Bat cave.......

The strays I know only accept cash.
