Best thing you'll ever do with your money. You can paint the walls pink if you want to, total freedom.

You'll have to do like me and build a custom garage to fit the truck. All in good time!

Good luck. House buying is a exciting, nervous and happy experience all rolled up into one. I would love a bigger garage but fear I would fill it up with even more junk than I already have. However, my '67 Mustang and momma's taxi are indoors...

I'm a carpenter and when I built my bride (of 35 years) the house of her dreams I did it all by myself. 3500 square foot ranch at a cost out of pocket of $229,000+. I did the garage for me. It had an 18'x8' overhead door. The man that installed the door for me said he had seen 18 wide before, he had seen 8' high before but never both together at the same time. I had forced air A/C and heat in it, 20, 20 amp wall outlets. In other words it was done right. 5 years later she throws me out of her life and now is married to someone I thought was a friend and they are enjoying my dream home together.........LIFE SUCKS!!
