The Garage-Mahal - I Wasn't Counting on This. . .

[Ripinator]

When we originally contemplated the garage addition, I didn't realize it would require tearing down half the house. . .

Here are a few shots of that fiasco: (Sorry if some of these are a little out of order, but you'll see what happened anyway. . .)

Have you posted this over on the garage journal? www.garagejournal.com is a very cool garage/shop/tools forum. Everything from itty-bitty Mini Cooper-sized garages all the way to hangar-sized behemoths, and everything in-between!

Nice shop build!

No. I had not thought of that forum. I guess when we get it a little further along, there will be more progress shots that I can post over there.

Thanks a lot.

Maybe they won't notice. . . But we pulled permits for everything, so I guess its gonna show up in a computer somewhere.

Thats what a buddy of mine thought when he put up a couple of those carport style garages, no concrete floors or anything. NJ jacked his property taxes $15-1600 per year, seems like a lot for what could be described as a temporary structure.

That was his standard yearly increase coupled with the build.
