    But generally speaking, no $0.50/ft isn't going to bankrupt someone on a garage slab.

    Has anyone run across a good example of a large 1-car garage on pirate or somewhere?
    Are there generally restrictions on how far a detached garage has to be from the house?
    And how wide is a 2-car driveway?

    I want to say a 2 car driveway is like 23' wide at the garage, but i dont have any plans in front of me...

    the city will have their own codes.

    You really need plans for a 1 car garage?

    Home depot rents those storage containers for $66/month.

    Off the top of my head, I think my 3 car is 28 foot. I think it is about 8 foot per car space, then plus your posts in the middle.

    My 2 car driveway is narrow. About 18'. I know the opening for the garage doors if it were 1 door would be 17' 3". I park my trucks on the edges but then I step out onto the grass.

    If you do build a 1 car, go with a 10' wide door. Makes getting trailers in and out much easier, especially if you ever get a boat. Boat trailers have a habit of being wider than legal and a 9' door is framed a couple inches smaller than 9'. My 8' wide doors suck but if they were tall enough I could fit a truck through them.

    Actually, a one car detached would be great. Make it about 20x25' with a 10' wide door on one side and a walk door on the other. My garage is 18' x 23'. Should be plenty of room for working once I clean it out. You'd be better off than I.
