| Re: Garage - What features would you select? Hey Gary,
It is a good thought but here in NC cold isn't the enemy, heat is! We have about one cold month a year, and this is it. By mid-Feb we'll be hitting some 55-60F daytime highs and 35-40 lows at night where I live in the central part. By March we'll our first 80F day, and from there until November again it is pretty much hot.
So, I've got a buddy who'll be getting me a used AC/heat pump on the take and installing it for me. Nothing fancy, but the shop will have AC, heat too, but I imagine the AC could get a work out.
It'll get a lot of the ideas on the thread but the first thing in will be a lift. I just haven't figured out what kind of lift yet. There is a company here in Greensboro that sells and installs them. I hope to go up there and have a look at various types and figure out what is best.
Size wise the garage won't quite be as big as I've love, but it is as big as we can fit on the property. Looks like it'll have inside dimensions of 26' wide and 35' deep. I'd love to have some of the garages I've seen on this website, but we'll try and make this one cozy and functional. I've still got the garage built into the house, basically a 2.5 car wide and 22' deep, but Julie's car is going in that area and it'll house my "fun" car. This garage we're building is mainly for racing efforts and a shop. |
