Was that $40k built or just material and delivery? I wouldn't mind having an oversized 2 car garage with loft above in my back yard

 

yeah its got me thinking about just making my own save a few bucks and make it fit what I need.

 

I made my own (for the topper) with 2x4s, some pulleys, wire rope, and a geared hand winch from harbor freight. It's been a long time but I bet I spent way less than $50.
You could even get an electric winch but for the little I use it (maybe twice a year) it didn't make sense for me.

 

Mine was just under $40k with all the extra concrete work.

 

That looks terrible!
Really should invest in one of these

 

Do you think when it comes time to sell your house you will get that money back out of it? That is my only concern right now but I am thinking if I build a little apartment above the garage I can have that be a separate rental.

 

Installed, including 6” concrete floor inside and 10’x48’ concrete driveway

 

Going for the tee pee look

 

Out where I live a shop added at least 40k to the home value if not more

 

Best place to get tires mounted/balanced but didn't buy tires there? Thank you.

I need to come and see this in person with whiskey and firecrackers.

 

Terrifying

 

Fill it with tannerite and blow that bitch sky high

 

good to know ill make some trips to harbor freight and a few other places figure it all out this weekend.

 

like this? this is an old video but never gets old. fast forward to 2:22

 

That thing is legit.

 

Complicated, I have no clue. I'm going to be enclosing the attached garage for an additional 400sqft of living space and adding a bathroom. I would think with all that added my house would be worth more than what would have been.

I don't really care though, in the end, this is where I want to live. I owe less than half of what they are going for without any extras in my neighborhood. I honestly couldn't afford to "upgrade" from where I'm at as Denver priced me out of the market for anything other than entry level.

 

Same here. My wife keeps pitching the idea of down sizing because the kids will be moving out. But I tell her it’s not worth it. It would cost us more in the long run then to stay where we are. We bought at a great time.

 

If she wants less living space just convert some of the unused portions of the house to garage.
