Gents,
The garage is 10.6m long 5.2 m wide (8.1m long) and 3.8 m wide at the front. It will have a toilet shower and basin on the side which is where the pool will go, this is for the kids when they use the pool. I stepped the front for looks and to make sure the garage did not over bear the back yard. The beam running down the garage is 5.4 m long and will have a rolling dolly with block and tackle on it, i have also thought about building a hanging rotiserie from the beams. The gyprocker starts tomorrow, i will have 3 phase power and have run some fixed compressor lines from one side of the garage to the other. The reason for the additional entry door is that once the house is finished my wife will park her car in the carport and the entire garage will be for my projects

the garage doors will actually be old fashioned type hinged doors, so i preferd to have a seperate entry so i did not have to open the garge doors all the time.
As far as cost, i am in the industry so i have an advantage there. A steel shed will be much cheaper when you consider the bricks i used are almost $1 per brick to buy and i have maintained the bungalow look. I did a rough estimate at the begining and it was atround the 40-50k mark that included demo of an old asbetos garage and about 40m of electrical inground submains.
And Yes JC i have been working on this in my spare time - before work every weekend and i can't wait till its finished.
