How did you guys go about deciding how large of a structure to build? I'm trying to balance in my mind the desire for a cavernous space with the realities of finances, zoning, future taxes etc. I know car guys can never have enough room, but how did you determine the best compromise with which you could live and be happy?

Tommy, it's Adam. I'm in Dix Hills.
Lloyd, where in Houston are you? I lived there for a short while (wife grew up there actually). And is the garage for sale? I'd love to move it to NY!!!

The garage door openers are called "I-Drive", made by Wayne Dalton. Pretty slick installation, and don't have those long tracks cluttering things up.

Bellaire, ah yes, an older, slightly upscale and mostly Jewish pocket in Houston, as I recall. Still that way?
My wife grew up in Memorial and went to Stratford HS. Man, they have a nice football stadium!

It WAS slightly upscale, now it's EXTREMELY upscale. A 1/3 acre lot runs $400K to $700K, depending upon the location!!! Not quite Memorial or River Oaks prices - yet!

Nice pictures guy's! Here's my place (26' x 34') from this past summer when superdutybob's T/A was "visiting" for the Dream Cruise. Wish I had more room but the wife won't let me have her Minivan spot!

Considering I used to have an add-on garage with a dirt floor\driveway and before that a parking lot, I love my 2 car garage!
Even better is when two cars fit in it and there is still room to do projects off to the sides! |

Here is my shop. 2 holes under the house, 3 on the outside. When the doors are down nobody would even suspect that Hemi's, judges or W-30's live there.

Can you post pics of the full exterior of the house? Here's a few shots of my house and yard area. funny thing is that I always wanted a side entry garage. Now that I have it, I hate turning to get into it! (that's part of the reason we removed the post and and went to 1 door. wife kept hitting the post!). I could probably add 10' to the front of the garage. Enough for another bay. That may even allow the walk to remain unchanged. Problem is, that's not as much space as i'd like to add, but it's the least expensive way to go I think. It allows us to put all 3 cars inside, or I can park in the center of the double bay and owrk on it while the wife can park on the single bay.

Adam,
Here you go. The parking was originally a 2 car drive under into the full basement. I added the addition on the side as you can see. I live in a "Covinent Community" so this was about all I could do. Getting the cars in the inner garage is kind of a pain. Everything has to come out first. Long term projects are stored there.
