Thanks....it has more room that we had anticipated. Hopefully in a week or so it will be completed and we will be out of the mud and dirt.

Very nice. I'm jealous! I told my wife about your new pad, and how much I'd like to build one. So we are talking about it....the first step in conquering!

If you need a copy of my plans let me know. Basically the building is 24'x36', the upper floor is about 22'x35' and is clear span.

The garage has two posts in it on the last bay to the right that support the beam. If you look close in the one photo you can see where the man door is, behind that is the stairwell that goes upstair and behind that is the full bathroom on the main level.

We tapped into all utilities so we could make the upper level into an apartment or home office. We have a 200 AMP electrical entrance. We'll do the insulation ourselves along with hanging the drywall.

The cost was $38K, once its all done with the insulation, drywall and hvac system, we'll probably have about $50K in it.

50K isn't bad at all! I am looking at maybe something a bit bigger. I would love to have the end port a bit larger. I plan to have a drainage system in place for washing/etc. the vehicles in doors if possible. Extra space would accomadate this. I love the idea of a party room/play room/extra guest room loft in the upstairs. I spent some time in architecture school before becoming a nurse, so I will probably draft the plans, but yes, I could def use yours as a guide or template. Thanks for the offer.....Jamie

We've got a nice little guest house out back with 800sqft and 10ft ceilings, a bedroom, kitchen, full bath, large den and small deck off the back. You know what it's used for? Poker mostly.

CP uses the bedroom as an art studio.

Yeah, I feel more than likely it would become a storage area, but I still like the idea of having it..
