My dad just built another garage at his house, a lot bigger than a 2 car and it's got a kitchen, bathroom, viewing area, workshop, and loft. Our concrete prices must be down in this part of the country because, his slab entire slab, side pad, and driveway was $10K.

bathroom


unfinished but, pretty much finished. The floor has been stained now, couches, and a rug added.


ceiling, which is actually wood flooring.



Kitchen and side door.

My god that is an amazing garage. More garage pics!

This man needs ideas and prices and the rest of us need to covet thy neighbor's garage.

Yellowboxster01,
A Ford GT and Ferrari 355 Spyder? Are you kidding me?

No, I don't believe so in order to accommodate for head room. The doors on that car are dangerous!

garage door shut and LOCKED!


Other garage complete with Racedeck floor and paintings. Surprisingly empty at the time of this picture.


Oh, there they are.

In the interest of saving money, there are many things you can complete yourself and reduce the overall cost of the garage. The one thing that you do not want to put off for later is the floor. A dirt floor is like parking your car in the mud. Moisture will come up and start doing the nasty on your undercarrage. Do as much as you can yourself and use the savings for a lift. Ed

Thanks all. I appreciate the tips, prices and the garages to aspire to.

I'm keeping the lift in mind.

Yes, I will need to get permits.

I live in the city and am worried that I'll tick off the neighbors if I build a monster garage.

Wow, those are some pretty garage pics. I didn't know garages cost that much. I'm facing having to paint a house, do a kitchen and bath, so never even thought past that yet.

As far as permitting, my mom needed a permit for a potting shed, which I guess is just a small shed to do plant stuff in? No clue. Anyway, she had trouble getting the permit (and there is no homeowner's association, this is just in the city) so she had to get an attorney. The attorney cost so much she had no money to build the shed, but she did finally get the permit.

You need a permit to install a hot water heater in my hometown. The cost is $65.
