    Looks big enough to me for my Explorer and then a bunch. But I don't see an overhead door, so that would make it difficult. Well, not difficult, but it wouldn't look as pristine once i got it in :D. I had a 14x20 tent garage that I had 2 tons of pellets in along with the truck. At different times it housed a 2007 & and 2018 Explorer). That doesn't count the other various gardening things including my 4-wheel dump barrow and 3 cu/ft bales of soil.

    That's a dang good price - I got a quote back at the beginning of 2019 that was $3k more than that for a 20x24 garage.

    that's what this one is, 20x24. He builds a lot of 24x4 garages with 2 doors. Here's the garage door and the (nearly) finished product. It's a cute spot. I mean, with a wider, or second, door, you'd definitely fit 2 cars in it if need be, albeit tightly. But the one door and the window looks nice. You'd definitely fit all that stuff it it and then some.

    Just needs a steep roof with a second half storey :D

    Caffeine! We still have blizzard conditions here. Wind and snow. I Yi Yi! This turned into a real storm. I was hoping they would be wrong and we would only get a little snow. I can’t even tell how much we have so far because it’s blowing around so much. AT LEAST WE HAVE NOT LOST POWER. Fingers crossed and all that other good luck stuff!

    hopefully you keep power going and stay warm!

    The winds and roads where nuts yesterday. I almost blew off the road going to feed my friends animals. It took me close to 50 minutes to go about 15 minutes away and snow drifts where so bad my little red car won’t be doing that again today. The truck will be freed from its winter storage for a day :whistle:

    I'm debating if I should plow the driveway but the wind is still here. Still, I'm expecting someone to stop today mid-day. They might appreciate it.

    That looks nice. My late good friend Owen had a stove in his living room like that. It was nice being able to sit and actually watch the fire. We only had a central furnace.

    Hee hee hee.
    So out to get chores done and then back in the house to build a fire. Then the horde started getting up. As dinner is tonight(prime rib), the hustle and bustle is getting louder and louder.
    So me being the magnanimous person I am volunteered to peel the potatoes.
    So me, a full cup of to go coffee, the woodchuck pulling the temp up from 20 to 50 already and climbing steadily have a date with John Wayne.
    Man it’s quiet out here….

    I'll have to finish pounding in the t posts and get the back yard fenced in before that happens. With this cold streak we have there's been no progress. Now, it's going to warm up this week into the mid 40's and I'm off of work until the 3rd. So... We'll be hearing to Menards and fleet farm for fence materials right after Christmas.

    Good thing we have a king size bed. Knowing my wife, there will be another dog in the house right after I get the fence up.

    Not a bad place. I was never a big fan of those carport type roofs like behind the garage though, I'd shorten it up (for cosmetic reasons) and build walls around it to form an enclosed room. That would make a great spot for a mower, atv, etc, or maybe a small woodworking room or the like. That garage definitely looks big enough to fit a big truck with lots of room to spare.

    We had a dining room but it turned into a stove room over the years. The room ended up being a second living room with a couple gliders by the stove. Nothing better in the cold months!
