True, but (a) we have other RV parking, albeit not covered; and (b) we call this the Terminal House because I plan to leave this place in a body bag. Ms. Corgi and I made the conscious decision to build it exactly the way we wanted it without worrying about resale value. Houses with views are becoming increasingly difficult to find and expensive, so I think the kids will be alright no matter how much I screw it up. And who knows, my grandson might just be interested in inheriting a fully-outfitted garage with a couple nice cars inside.

If you ever contemplate spraying/washing/squeegeeing the floor in the future.
So the drywall is up off the floor.
FWIW

Yes, Tim, good thought. It's actually shown that way on one of the plan sheets and the builder and I have discussed this very thing.

I've got a retaining wall about 14" behind the back of the planned pad. Could probably go deeper, but don't feel super comfortable get much closer to the wall. It will be a cathedral ceiling, drywalled in with a partial loft for storage in the back.
I am looking at doing a 5" pad pour and installing a single post lift. Like the idea of doing deeper concrete pour in the general area of the lift base. Debating between a storage or working style (no ramps). I will get a tall jack stand for support (or two) if I get the working lift.

Good luck. Hopefully you are on Garage Journal--there are so many ideas over there and I have been studying for years.
