I'm building my new garage er house. 6200sq feet under a/c plus 3 separate garages to fit 8 cars (before lifts are installed), my enclosed trailer plus a 15 x20 workshop with its own full bath...

I guess the 2 trucks will have to sleep outside

I believe our CCR's actually require that everyone keeps their garages clear enough to park 2 cars inside (they are all 3 car garages). However, you are not required to actually park inside, which makes it a pretty odd rule.

I would love to have a 4-car garage or a full 3-car with a workshop/storage area. That will be a priority for the next house. With this one we were just damn glad to HAVE a garage vs the tiny 1-car carport and tiny driveway we had before.

I choose to live in the boonies and have a simple split level house with 2 car garage (1 bay is filled with a hottub mandated by my wife with fibro mayalgia). My wifes car sits in the garage and my daughters' 924s typically sit outside. I keep most of my other cars in my 60 x 100 hangar.

You will just have to trust me on this one, you can NEVER have ENOUGH storage space!

My pole built hangar has a large area for aircraft/car parking, a paintshop which doubles as my auto repair shop, an office, a bathroom and a workshop filled with wood working and metal working stuff. They are interconnected with internal garage doors. When I first moved here, I thought I could never ask for more, but now I am looking into adding a lean-to type structure for more room. Garage/shop space is like money.....one can never have too much.

My dream house is an old fire station.

Live upstairs. Cars downstairs.

Not to mention the pole.

And you can encourage your lady-friends to express themselves using that pole...
