i hear ya man, i have a one car garage now. i figure if i build an oversized 2 car to boot, i'll be good for awhile. i want large roof space like this one so i can put light stuff up there. believe me, i already have enough stuff to fill it, but with concrete/lumber going up like it is that's all the wallet will allow.

Are you going to have access to the attic? It looks like tons of storage room up there.

The house sure compliments the garage nicely...or is it supposed to be the other way around?

Looks awesome, compliments the house or the house compliments it very nicely. We're finishing our garage now to compliment the other buildings on the farm, red with white trim. Your place looks great.
