I'm so excited. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Yesterday we finished our garage at about 9pm, and right after we finished cleaning up it started snowing. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Now we have lots of snow with huge drifts in our yard.

Any ways, the garage has 3 bays, and each bay should be able to fit 2 cars. Only problem is, the garage is already filled with cars. We have 2 914's, a 911, and a '50 Ford F-1 project to put into it. Then, it has a full 24x36 room on top of the garage with a loft on top of that. It also is post and beam framing so there are no walls.

Now we just have to bring the cars home, It looks wrong having no cars in the garage.

Sorry no pictures at this time (its 10 degrees out, and I have the day off from school, so I'm too lazy to go out and take pics) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Here's a sketch though. Jim

Heres a pic from out my bedroom window. More pics later (when it gets warmer).

The garage is underground, actually its built into the bank. It has 10' ceilings so we can put in a lift. The ground floor is totally open and is huge, we just got a wood stove for it yesterday. The loft is also huge because the roof has suck a steep pitch.

Later on I'll post pics of the front of it and the other side (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

You may as well do it now, because nowhere is going to be somewhere someday, and you won't be able to afford it then. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

I'm able to offer this valuable insight, because I've been looking at property lately. I should have bought some nowhere before it became somewhere! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) My parents bought the house and 14 acres 12 years ago (fyi- the house is 300 years old and still being retored, kinda like our cars) Funny thing is, I live in the middle of nowhere and Chris Foley (racer chris) lives 1/2 mile down the road

Now lots are about really expensive and everyone is developing them except us. If our lot was developed we would have nowhere to hide our cars from the evil taxcollector and his appraisals (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

When you get a chance show us some pics of the inside. I love timber frame construction. The next house I build will be timber frame construction.

Buy land now, they aren't making anymore. HIgh growth areas especialy. I'm currently in the process of selling my house and it is almost a crime what I am going to profit after only owning it for a short time.

Its not really "real" post and beam like our house is because its not mortised and tenioned (sp?), but is really cool. I'll take some pics of the inside and post them when I finally get out side to take pics of the rest.

The company that produced it (its a kit, sort of) is called country carpenters and they are great to deal with. It was kinda wierd, because of the price of plywood and 2x4's, this kit was actually compable to normal stick constructon.

Country Carpenters

We saved the extra money post and beam cost by escavating (my dad has some serious machinery), building the forms, pouring the foundation and assembling the kit ourselves.

Jim,

That would make a sweet 914 Bed & Breakfast for club members traveling out your way. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

You just need to install plumbing in the loft.
