Garage ideas and tips.

Wow that's a lot of rules! I'm currently putting in a 1850 sq ft carriage style garage and there was really only (5) rules. It can't be taller than 14 ft at the peak, it has to be 10 ft away from a utility line, it has to be 5 ft from a property line (which can be reduced to 2 ft if the wall adjacent to the property line is a "fire wall"). It can't be more than 25% of the square footage of your backyard. And it can't be more square footage than the first floor of your house.

Other than following "the rules", it's your duty as an American to get the most advantage you can and exercise every possible loop hole you can!
