I'd wanted to build my dream garage for years so I could stop renting one. I decided to build next to my existing 3 car garage so I cleared the spot, laid out the foundation and had materiel delivered from the lumber company just down the street. I built it 45' long, 30' wide and 14' tall. Insulated 14' tall electric double door with a single walk in door. No windows but did install heating. Sprayed insulation on walls and cellulose insulated metal ceiling, finished exterior in white vinyl with guttering. Installed six huge light banks that hold 6 lamps each and a plug for charging the house batts with conventional outlets every 12'. Standard pitch 30yr shingle roof. Built a workbench across the back of the structure along with a storage space for my collection of golf equipment. I keep the MH, my restored Thunderbird and my Corvette inside with my golf cart and a train table for me and the grandson. My lot lies at an angle that made it necessary for me to add a little extra concrete to decrease the existing incline so the AC on top of the MH would clear the large door unlike that poor poster who failed to notice. It also came in handy this week during a severe cold spell as a pet refuge for our cats. It's my intention to install a golf simulator so I can play golf indoors during the winter but that's down the road.
