I can't wait to see where you're able to take this new project

Re: Un garage à la française
Got this roughly staked out today, really gives a good perspective on the size.

The smaller tree to the front left is getting taken down (its rotten) and then a bunch of branches are getting trimmed from the 2 big oak trees.
Tuesday afternoon the guy who will be excavating is coming out to take a look, hopefully he'll be able to start digging before Thanksgiving, but we'll see.
Re: Un garage à la française
Not so much a garage update, but we had a concrete pad poured along the back of the house earlier this year and finally picked up a hot tub to go out there. Now, I really need to hurry up and get the garage built so I can get the electrician to hook up the hot tub.
Re: Un garage à la française
The contractor we planned to use to excavate ended up getting COVID and has to quarantine until the end of the year, which is likely putting a delay on anything happening. Have another guy coming out today to take a look, hoping to see some action before the end of the year, but doubtful at this point.
Will be nice to have something more than just a spray painted odd sized tennis court in the back yard.
Re: Un garage à la française
Excavation started last week.

Had hoped to get the footers excavated this week, then get the concrete poured for those, but it bucketed with rain Saturday night turning it into a muddy swamp, then last night and into this morning we got about 6 or so inches of snow. Annoyingly, it'll be a few days now until anything gets going again.
Re: Un garage à la française
Man, I'd LOVE to have a nice shop/garage like this myself. Its definitely on my list of things to do at some point in my life - hopefully sooner than later :)
I know its faux pas to talk financials, but I'd love to know what something like this costs.
Exciting project!

I'll tell you when it is finished!! Hopefully, it does not end up over budget.
Re: Un garage à la française
I just did a driveway and two car garage. Stick kit they call it. Comes with garage doors, all wood, vinyl siding, shingles, buried electrical line, inside and outside lighting. Upgraded to 2x6 instead of 2x4. 185 yards of concrete. $60,000. Took about two months. This is for future sports car and or muscle car with all out audio system of course
Re: Un garage à la française
A little more progress, ready for concrete to be poured for footings...

But, snowstorm forecast Sunday, which likely since I want to get this built means we'll get all the snow.
