Okay, looks like my parents and I (mostly them, I'm just cheap labor) are taking on a new challenge, they purchased a place close to the lake! So that's great, lots of room to build a garage for storing my 2012 2275RCW. So now I need to figure out how wide and how deep I want to build a garage. Space isn't an issue, but money is. So for starters, how big of a garage door do you think I will need? I ask because I don't have my boat yet, and it isn't on a trailer, so I can't just call my dealer and ask them to measure. Is 10' tall enough? I'm thinking about 35' deep, maybe 14' wide, maybe a bit wider so I can put a little work bench or some storage on the side. The property currently has a little garage suitable for a riding lawnmower and random items, pop's Barley for one, but none of our vehicles fit in it. I wonder if I should look at building a garage with a big door for the boat and a normal one for our trucks. Any architects on here? Haha
My pops keeps talking about putting a loft in it, but I'm pretty sure that opens up a whole slew of issues with exhaust gases and fire stops so don't think that will be in the budget. The 'cottage' is mighty old and a few add ons, but figure once we pay off our current house or vehicle, maybe look at building or getting an RTM and plunking down beside it.
