So, we might be building a garage.

I say "might" because I am still researching the total cost of doing so, specifically how much our taxes will go up and how much our insurance will go up. I'm more concerned about the former than the latter; we haven't been assessed since 1993, and some of the numbers I hear from other folks around here are a *whole* lot higher than what we're currently paying. If anyone has experience in that regard I'd appreciate hearing it.

I hired an architect, hopefully that will be money well spent. Our property presents some challenges which is why I went this route.

The plan at this point is for a 3-ish car garage; two bays for our dailies and one bay for a fun car / work area. I plan to put a lift in the 3rd bay.

I'd love to hear others' experiences with this process. This is a first for me! All of my other structure purchases were existing buildings, this is our first time starting from scratch.
