Question Folks,

I am looking to build a 2 car garage attached to my house. I would like to have it be the same size as my house is front to back (24 ft.) and may be that wide also (enough for 2 cars). I need to have a bank next to my driveway dug out to make ample room for the garage, so what I'm thinking is I want someone to just pour the concrete slab with a drain in the middle of the floor to tie into a ditch next to my house (just for water, no chemicals or oil) frame it, roof it and attach it to my house. More or less getting it in the dry and wired for 110 and 220. I figure that I can do the drywall and hanging the garage doors. what do you think that could run a fella in TN?

 

How much of it can you do yourself? That will take a lot of the cost out of it, right there. If you can rent a machine and get the place ready for the cement truck, then do some framing, or cladding yourself you could save over half the cost.

I really only want someone to get the slab poured, framed in the dry, wired, plumbed into existing plumbing and attached to the house. Shingled as well. I'm about 99.9% positive that I can do the drywall and everything else. I did a little electrical work a few years ago, but I'm nowhere near qualified for wiring the garage. I would however install the lights, if the wiring was already pulled and ready to go. I wouldn't even have a problem installing the sink as long as someone roughed in the plumbing.

 

I have a step son that is expert at it - and he would love a side job if it is near Memphis!

BRIAN McCain is your man....

I appreciate it Greywolf, but I'm in NE Tennessee. About 30 minutes north of Knoxville.

 

Hey, and you're a homestar runner fan too. Very cool.

 

Yeah, I really would like to be called Trogdor the Burninator in honor of StrongBad, but it's a little long.
