Igor Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 im actually going to email him and ask him what the total costs he had invested for personal reference. There is no way possible that there is 1/2 mill invest at the very top i'd say 250k. I would bet you could build this same set up as a free standing unit (minus the high dollar cabinets, tv's and applicance) and build the same thing on a budget for 80-100k. He stated in the thread he's was planning on 225K but ended up being closer to 250k. I originally thought it would come in about $225K.. It's going to be closer to $250K when we get it wrapped up. We've upgraded quite a few items on the fly and some things were simply more expensive (or weren't on my radar) than I originally estimated. That ^^ is not inclusive of the Moduline cabinets, electronics, furnishings, tools/lifts. As I've said, not cheap, but it's a lifetime buy and a lot cheaper than flipping houses to get a 2700+ square foot (1600 condo + 1100 house) garage.

John Bruh Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 My dad's been planning this exact same concept for years now. He's just waiting a few more years for retirement before he starts. His living quarters will be sealed off though. No need to heat the neighborhood. He's also single, so that helps. I would do this as well. I would make the part that he has open and put huge glass windows from the floor to the ceiling on the top floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bruh Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 He stated in the thread he's was planning on 225K but ended up being closer to 250k. He had to pay wayyyy to much for the building to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcz06 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 All I want to know is what he plans on parking in that thing. Crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyster101 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 That is sweet, but really $250k, just seems like a lot of money for that. I agree it could be built for $80k without too much hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 is a underground indoor firing range to much to ask for off to the side of it? lol Pre-cast "Box Culvert". Shouldn't be too expensive. http://www.hansonsilo.com/images/box-culvert-install.jpg I'm not sure what the law would say about it. Seems safe enough.

Science Abuse Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 that would just be bad ass. Hummm this is going to be added to my plan lol Last time I looked into it, I think the 7'x7' box culverts were between 600 and 900 a peice. 50 of them should give you a respectable range.

Nitrousbird Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 That's beautiful and awesome, but I'd have 2 concerns: - Heating/Cooling (as everyone mentioned). Not just the cost, but having your living room get the heat / freeze every time you open the garage door. - The smell. Exhaust fumes, oil/fuel/grease smells, etc. There is a reason you don't heat your garage using the same heating/cooling system as your house. You home will smell like a garage (not a totally bad thing, but not something you want 24/7...especially when everything you own, including you, smells like that). I'm sure with the large air space it isn't as big of a concern as a smaller garage, but I would guess it could still be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
