Garage makeover
 
We have a 120 year old Victorian with a freestanding two car garage and pool and we live in a small downtown area with a half acre lot so expanding the garage is a challenge. I met with my contractor to discuss some expansion options. The garage has a large attic which is very useful for storage. My goal was to be able to fit a third car and retain some valuable storage space. My contractor ultimately came up with a design that accomplished both goals. Here are a few before and after pictures. We kept the regular 8’ ceiling on one half with an access hole to allow for a ladder to fit and raised the ceiling on the other side all the way to the roof. The first picture is the “before” the rest are the after.

Very nice!

I had recently done a huge garage renovation project to convert a really crappy, dirty and dark 3 car garage into this awesome 4 car garage...

...when we had to move up to NorCal. We were able to find a house with 2 x 2 car garages but they are old and dirty and dark again... So now I have to think about what I want to do again.

Rudy, your garage transformation is fantastic. Looking forward to see what you do with the 2 + 2 which is a cool layout.

Hi RudyP

Could you please share your experience of pleasure of driving / ownership of the F355 GTB vs the 993 please?

Many thanks,
