I was hoping to have it finished by this month, now I’m just hoping to have it up by Fall. Hopefully your municipality is a little more in tune with reality.

That is what I am thinking about, a 2 car version of that.
Mine will be detached from the house and will be at about or greater distance from the property line than the house itself.
Is this your design? Are you building it yourself?
What difficulties did you run into?
You can PM me if you prefer.
