A friend of mine's dad wanted a much larger garage on his property in our town. He had a 1 car garage, probably built in the 50's. He drew up plans for a 6 car garage with a loft - twice the size of the small house that they lived in. City said NO WAY. So he went back home and thought about it a bit. Went back to the city and asked 'can I just add on to my existing garage?' City said 'sure'. He asked 'any restrictions to adding on?' City said 'no'.
He has one original corner post from that old single car garage - that is now a 6 car with a loft. LOL

Congrats on the nice shop! As a carpenter I am always curious why other build walls and sheet them after they are up? I have always sheeted them laying down.
I also live in Illinois, but unincorporated unlike Dan. I’m on .45 acres and allowed 1800 sq ft of total garage space. I plan to build a 1300 sq ft shop this summer.

AH!! Now I can see it.
So you can either drive around the side of the house to the shop or technically drive through the current garage to it?
That'll be awesome. Boat in the back yard tucked away nice and close. Easy access. Awesome. Reminds me of all the Havasu houses with more garage space than house space! LOVE IT!
