One of the areas of the new house that we went back and forth about before making a final decision was the garage. Originally the house had a attached garage built into the plans but as time went on we both realized we wanted a detached garage.  Then we got the quote for the detached garage and realized it was like building a small house and thought that was just a silly use of money so Guy suggested a "pole barn garage".  I knew nothing about them and thought he meant a real barn which I was totally opposed to having (unless it came with goats or horses hehe).   We spent a Saturday afternoon driving into the country where he could show me what they looked like and then when we met with our builder he had one which he allowed us to go in and see.  I was sold, if the price was right.Guy got right on it and found a builder and a quote and it came in at half the price of that detached garage and it was also much bigger so decision was made.Fast forward to this month and the construction has begun.  We decided not to put it on top of the house but instead off to the side.  We literally changed the flow of our driveway to a "Y" with the house to the left and the garage to the right.  This gives us so much more room to park the camper, the extra car and gives Guy his man cave.View of where the pole barn will resideThis is where the "Y" splitsThe driveway to the pole barnView from the "Y" split to the houseOnce we laid it out the framing was started immediately. First Guy had to put up a sign for deliveries and then the framing materials arrived.From there it took just over a week to get it framed  When done it will be a 40 x 30 three bay (two garage doors) pole barn.Concrete will go in as soon as this rain stops (please make it stop) and then the siding.With any luck it will be done a few days before we move in.
