Peter, Freddy, Matt, please post photos. I would love to see your projects. Garagejournal.com is a great site that has given me alot of great ideas.

Matt, which lift are you looking at? I ultimately would like a mid rise two post on one side and a four post on the other.

I was hoping to get the Bendpak HD9 (std width/std height) in 230v with the pneumatic/hydraulic sliding bridge jack.

Here's the current garage; nothing fancy:
The plan is to add a 12 foot extension into the space where the Subaru is, in this picture:
I've been procrastinating on this, because, while there's lots of room, I really don't want to cut into our green space; it's really nice here in the summer. The view from our rear patio:
But I delivered sketches to our contractor a couple of days ago, and we're going to get it done. I want to be able to keep the 993 here over the winter, and have it in a secure bay of its own.

Hey Matt, I've actually followed your progress, and probablyPM'd you with questions. You have a very nice garage. I think I may have asked you about the Hardiplank siding. I'm going to use the same siding on my building. How big is your door?
Rinty, I would think that an addition would give you more privacy. In my case that will be a nice benefit: the garage will create a courtyard and give us much more privacy than we currently have.
Gasser, your place sound exactly like what I hope to have when I finish. My son lives nearby and drives a 964. There are a whole list of mods we are planning once we have a place to work.

i didn't have this garage built, but it was one of the main reasons why i bought the house a couple years ago. i have a 3-car attached-to-the-house garage and this separate, oversized 2-car garage seen here. it's a just under 900 sq/ft, plenty deep and high ceilings. i keep both porsches in there, my 60" ZTR toro, yard cart, landscaping stuff, snowblower, etc.
i plan to build a separate landscaping project/gardening shed for all the mower and yard stuff soon so i can make this my "porsche garage". new epoxy floor drywall and insulation, heat, lift, flatscreen with a couple chairs........too bad wifey wants new wood floors this spring.

The siding is just vinyl. The big door is 16x8. Thanks.

James,
Not a custom-built situation, but I am helping a Rennlister remodel his home and enlarge his family space. This dictates taking some room from the garage. I laid out a 993 in the parking space and worked the rest of the floor plans off that. Hope to see the end results in a few months.
All digits crossed hoping it will work out.
Also best wishes on your garage project.

So here's a question. If a standard 2 car garage is 24'x24' how many feet would you have to add to the length in order to store a 3rd car parked width wise? Another 10'?
