When the wife and I were looking for a house my one rule was 3 car garage or a place to build a shop. Well we ended up finding a foreclosure that was $150K less than what it was worth so I loss and we got this house. The problem is its an all brick colonial house with 2 car garage with bonus room over garage. My HOA, ya I know HOA suck, will not allow for a shop. So has anyone ever added an addition garage bay onto their house? How did it work out? What did the price end up being. Any do's or don'ts?
