It has been our intention from the beginning of the house build to have a detached garage.  Now we are far enough along in the building of the house to concentrate on location and design.  This is one area I am totally leaving up to Guy.  Except for the color of siding and roof (which will match house) the rest us up to him.We are going to go with a pole barn on concrete slab.  This way it can be bigger that a traditional build and much more affordable. Yesterday we started walking the lot to stake out the location so that we can clear the 80' x 80' approx. space we will need.  I think we are both very happy with the location. It will be away from the house, not to far away though, actually across from it. It is just off the driveway and hidden behind trees. We are going to put a main driveway to it and then a second access "trail.I think Guy is more excited about the garage then about almost anything :)[envira-gallery id="13946"]
