Was looking at some but too many conflicts with town bylaws and if I have guests that don’t want to have to walk up and down two flights of stairs.( parents ) That’s a dead issue now. Going with 1 storey bungalow with attached garage. Plans are being drafted now.

This would be great however this is only a vacation/cabin property and not a principal residence. I was hoping that those days that you drive and it’s colder that you can just pull into garage for the night with deck on truck with sleds. It may be a big expense to build a large high garage and not worth the return for a couple days to park the truck in the garage. May just pull the sleds off the deck and leave in garage. Same with side by side. Also if I make the door 10’ I have to make a lot of modifications to the house as well according to draftsman. 9’ ceilings are one to make it all work with the said floor plan

Make one bay longer than the other. Minimal cost and gives you that little bit of extra space.i is

Nice. You will be pleased to see the progress. I can envision you using a deck now instead of an enclosed. Short drives and good security in the garage on the back of your truck. Do yourself a favour and at least build the garage with 9 or 10' walls. Curtis also has a great idea about one bay longer but make them both longer. The contractor I bought from makes his garages to fit the new trend (SUV's that are shorter). I can't get my truck in the garage with my hitch attached. One of the concessions I made for other amenities. Good luck and enjoy the build!!

Not a problem, just back up a little harder, you'll just crunch a little shelving.

Speaking with Maxwell on this, he has property there, his garages are full of toys and yard maintenance equipment, never could fit trucks in there anyway. I will hardly even park in there ever.

yea, i mean you can NEVER have enough garage space. But if your trying to keep within a budget and all of your toys can fit in the garage thats within your budget then the truck stays outside lol.

I'm just an ol' fart and speaking from experience Ron...............now is the time to change the plan!!

Pretty nice to drive the truck under cover with your sled on it and not worry about theft through the night and as a bonus all is thawed for the morning.

This might be a little late, but if not. Give Bill Greer a call over at Ajax Drywall. He's in the West end and him and his son have built custom houses in the past. Highly recommend him. He's a great guy, I worked for him for close to 20 years and my brother has been there for probably 40 years now. Feel free to use my name as a reference.

Also thinking of changing thread title from Property to Party, LOL

Thanks Trashy, I plan on drywalling myself and when I'm sledding next year ill leave Dean or RonH there taping while I have fun, JK. Thanks for the trade references, I would probably be in a bit of hot water if I gave it to someone else though as two of my friends have drywall company's. That's probably a year away anyway, when your doing yourself things go much slower, but by seeing all the lots that sold in Valemount last fall and this last two months there will be a fair amount of building going on. Things will be delayed for sure.

I have a Designer/Draftsperson doing my plans out of Kamloops BC. So far I would say he is very knowledgeable and very helpful and knows the bc requirements.

but where's the pics of the plans??????

Remember 30 amp plug on the outside, and an RV sewer dump in the driveway for when your friends want to squat.

I get a cot in the garage right by all the stinky sledding gear.

I was just gonna take over his driveway with the travel trailer.

I'm betting he is going to be like Sheldon (Big Bang Theory) and draw up comprehensive rules with strict penalties for all you frequent visitors or squatters.
