Congrats on getting your project completed!
But.... heated garage? Why?
Oh, wait! It gets *cold* in other parts of the world, doesn't it?
We Californian's sometimes forget that! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
Seriously, I do miss the garage I had in Colorado some years ago. The previous homeowner (DPHO?) had it custom built with big plans to have his own upholstery business there. But he should have checked the zoning codes. The fact that businesses weren't allowed in the residential neighborhood was a key reason he had to sell and I was able to buy the house.
That garage was 36'x36', heated, had 10' ceilings, and two 9' tall roll up doors, each with it's own opener. It also had it's own half bathroom/laundry area, tool/spares room, small office area, attic storage, was wired with both 110 and 220. It even shared a built-in, central vacuum with the house.
Another reason I got a deal on the house was because nothing worked. The previous two owners were DIYers with, um, somewhat limited skill sets. I knew it was a fixer-upper, and it sure was a learning experience for me!
The central vac was incorrectly wired, the dishwasher drain hose was plugged up, only one of four burners on the brand new fancy range worked, the garage doors were jammed shut to "lock them" and the openers weren't even hooked up.
Even the 15'x30' glassed-in patio and custom-built fireplace in the living room were screwed up. Every room had different color wall-to-wall carpets.... covering up beautiful hardwood floors! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
In the end, I didn't have to buy many major items. It was nearly all new stuff, just incorrectly installed. Prioritezed and then went through item by item over the course of a couple years time, correcting problems, and that was that.
Still sometimes kick myself wondering why I let my ex talk me into moving and selling that place... Maybe that's one reason she's my ex... And, maybe all the time I spent happily puttering in my "mega garage" is one reason I'm her ex. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
