Met with my builder today, how does a 5 car garage sound????

You're gonna be so happy you expanded the garage. When I built the house I'm in now, I spec'd out a "car guys" garage. I have 14' vaulted ceilings, custom trusses so there are no poles, 3 cars wide and tandem. I still don't have enough room.
If you want a lift (I have a perfect park 7000), I recommend you see about higher ceilings. I can put a car all the way up on the lift with the hood open. Very beneficial and no accidents. LOL
Make sure you make provisions for 220v compressor, HVAC, plumbing, etc. I even wired mine for 5 channel surround sound. Do it now as there is no easier time than now.
Oh yea, lots of outlets and lots of lighting. I have 6 96" dual tube flourescents. Its like a landing strip out there.
My buddy did something to his garage that I wish I had done but if you are in Tx, you may never need it. He put in a heated floor.
Enjoy!!!

Here is the satelilite view, but it does not show the house on it...

Offer went in this morning now we are just waiting....
I specified that i want the garage unfinished, meaning no sheet rock, electrical, etc.... But i did ask for a breaker box and it connected to the main power. This way i can run as much electrical stuff i want, so it will have 110v and 220v drops, tons of lighting, etc... I can do all that stuff myself so it should make a little cheaper...

Ya it is a nice area, we are excited.... I have been going back and forth this morning on our offer, then the sellers counter offer. Then i had to explain what i wanted in the garage, etc... Pain in the *** to say the least... Hopefully we will reach an agreement soon...

it is on 1.4ish acres... The damn builder is pissing me off... Going back and forth with BS... He does not want to negotiate at all... he is only wanting to go 5k less than asking... My realtor is pissing me off... I am really thinking of telling both of them to eat the corn out of my **** at this point....
