Guys, I am in the planning stages. I want to build a garage in the backyard. Would love a 3 car, but depending on finances may have to do a two car. Need a place to store my two old cars and would love to put the boat in there too, although it lives under its carport now. Was thinking 32x24 with a 16x7 door and a 9x7 door for boat. Would like to pay cash as I go, and would like to do most of it myself. I have experience framing houses and garages, although that was under the direction of someone else.
Wood framed, hardie plank, shingle roof, (not going to roof it myself). Lot is already pretty flat so minimal grading, etc. No apron or anything at this time.
What am I looking at for slab costs? Do you guys have experience with the cost between a 2 car and 3 car of similar size? We don't have near the storage space we need in the house for things so would like a loft or at least a decent storage area.
I know these are rather vague questions but I don't really know what I don't know yet, (feel free to tell me what I don't know). I want to get this built before my son is of age so we have a place to work on the cars, and to free up the garage for a place for his bike, etc. It is crammed full of cars now and I have room for nothing and no place to work.
