Wouldn't it have been cheaper and less work to sell some of the cars!?

Yes, CJ, but the house portion of the addition was something Brenda wants and I thought I should get something out of it!

Dave, looks like that glue-lam garage door header is about 3/16" out of level, might want to check it!

There will be a second story over the whole thing so I went with 2 x 6 construction for the entire first floor, garage included. Everything is on 16 inch centers.

Lone Ranger..the size of the doghouse is in proportion to the amount of trouble he gets into with Brenda!
