I have been dealing with my dominion homes garage and it sucks. It's good for normal use, but i have to much shit! lol. I will be selling my house after the 1st of the year. The plan is to build a badass garage. But like the tread a while ago where the guy has an upstairs apartment. I will be doing this. The Plan: Sell my house. Purchase 5th wheel toyhauler build garage profit! Once I sell my house there will be I'm figuring a 8-12mo spread from start to completion. So during this void I could, a.) live in an apartment and waste my money or b.) buy a bad ass camper to live in and keep. I'm going for option B. Being that I am a car guy and I'm selling my house to build a big ass garage, if I'm going to buy a camper its going to have a garage too! So a toyhauler is it! I have it narrowed down to 2 campers. 1.) Road Warrior 405. http://www.gillettesinterstaterv.com/cf/shopmast/productphotoresultsp.cfm?productid=689 http://www.rvtraderonline.com/find/listing/2011-HEARTLAND-RV-ROADWARRIOR-405RW-96721677 2.) Fuzion 412 This one is brand new. They don't even have one at any of the dealers i went to to look at them. http://www.lakeshore-rv.com/cf/shopmast/productdetailp.cfm?productid=2493 During that time once I've sold the house and after i buy one of these I will be buying a plot of land. Most likely around the blacklick/pataskala/baltimore area. 5-10 acres depending on area and budget. Then start building. I'm going to do a block 4' footer with framing the rest. I figure i'll be paying to have the structure built and the concrete and block. I should be able to save alot of money and thats with me doing the electrical, plumbing, flooring, drying, etc. This is a rough idea of what the build will look like. this took me about 15mins and is no way near to scale, but its close. If all goes right i should be able to have the garage paid in 5yrs. then im going to save for my house. I already have the house plan picked out. which this is it. http://www.eplans.com/french_country_house-plans/HWEPL11024.hwx which im all about garage space since i dont have dick right now. Check out the lower level for the house. EDIT The living area will be 30x50. 2 bedrooms. Once i get the garage paid, i will start building my house and once the house is completed the upstairs will be rented out. thats why there are stairs going above the garage so I can block access to the garage.
