Yes please, we're considering just that for our whole project, it's good to see outside of the manufacturer's photos.

Looks great. I have their plank siding on my place. Light mist is light gray, pretty happy with the material. I used the cedar shake panel on one section, makes a nice contrast. Not cheap but I think/hope it will last.

don't ask why...but just had to have more space. added 6ft to front of garage in a first floor "bump out". this was actually part of the plan all along.
left old outer wall in place until last minute, then moved doors and removed wall. with the extension, the side windows are now centered as designed. amazing what the extra 6ft does for interior space. so far, love these garage door openers. smooth, quiet, sidemounted so they don't block car on lift. liftmaster brand. new storage driveway done behind shop for truck and trailers. got the shelving in and the parts stash loaded in. industrial handrails. welded pipes. dang....wife got her furniture into the "nice" section upstairs....

Real progress since last time I drove by!! Love the space and ship model in the upstairs window!
Fess up, is the 6' bump to get around size limits? Was going to do something similar (12x12 shed with connecting doors to garage). Perfect plan till spousal unit realized how little backyard we'd have if I did

thanks folks. still a lot more work to go, but the structure is finally there.
Trakrat......stop in if you are driving by! the ship models have a history. Hand built from scratch by a great uncle for my father and his brother in the 1940's. they are actually designed to float on their waterlines. they have been stored in boxes for 30yrs as i had no where to display them until now. someday hope to restore them to original condition. the second one is in the other window overlooking the pool. the extra 6ft is result of comms issue between architect and owner. caught it before original walls went up. decided to just finish as is and add when done rather than deal with paperwork delays of changes.
