Patience Grasshopper....
I grew up in Philadelphia...
This was my garage

I built Meanie #1 here. (note the oil stains the car usually faced the other way)

I had a carport in Florida

I first decided I was building my garage at this house 7 years ago. I saved the money, and submitted the plans to the township, and got approved.
As a result of the township's requirements an additional $3000 was needed and I had to put the project on hold... for a year
Then the washing machine and the refrigerator needed replacing.... so oooops not again.
Then, just before the next try (another year later) I destroyed my hand.
That was 2006.... In 2008 I got my first garage ever

Note the grass floor? Ya just keep 5 or 6 pieces of 3/4 ply so stuff wont sink

In 2010 I added 50% more space by putting up a 2nd tent!
Finally, here we are. 2011 and the drawings are done and headed to the township
It took 31 years. And based on the stuff in first tent....

We'll have the same amount of space anyway!
