[QUOTE="CV355, post: 16091170, member: 181885"] I'm looking into a 2 or 3 bay detached garage for our backyard, weighing out the costs vs return equity-wise. It has been a motivator for me lately. The area it would be installed on is currently a lightly wooded section of our yard- I plan on (and have been) cutting the trees down myself, so the excavation would be mainly stumps and earth. [LIST] [*]Anybody have any experience with excavation and slab foundation costs in the Southeast US? [*]Any issues if there isn't heating/cooling initially (tool storage, wouldn't think there would be an issue) [*]My existing breaker box in the house is full- can a second J-box be added at the new garage off the same service? Is that code-compliant? [*]Is there much of a property value boost with a properly installed metal/fab building, or should I consider stick built at the highest cost? [*]What pre-fab company did you use for the building / recommendations? (been looking at Alan's Factory Outlet) [*]Was there much of an increase in property insurance? [*]Any surprises/pitfalls/words of advice from those of you who have done this before? [/LIST] I may tackle it in phases, such as excavation/foundation this year, building next year, or something like that. My plan is to tackle it without incurring any debt, so I have plenty of time to plan and no rush factor. [/QUOTE]
