As with any building project you should start with plans for building. In this case I started with the city’s website on building codes. It turns out if you build a garage larger than a certain size you have to get a building permit (like a house) which adds a ton of time and money to the process. So, I drafted plans that were just shy of the maximum in order to avoid that hassle which as you can see below was 24′ deep and 33′ wide. The plans were made in Visio.
We put in 2 man doors with the thinking that one would access the separated bay (the man cave side) and one for the cars, which also was much closer to the backdoor of the house.
We put a wall in for the man cave side, mainly to give some additional space for putting the dart board and to keep the dust and so on to a minimum.
The windows were quite big we thought, but in the end were about right with good lighting in the 3rd bay in particular which was really nice.
