The work continues. The garage is large. It first was planned as a 2 car garage but when the costs of planning was found to be so high because the city required that so many consultants be hired in order to get the building permit, a 4 car garage with additional space above was conceived for less than double the price.

My Saab's future home.

What is not permitted is a fireman's pole to slide from the second floor directly to the garage. The space above the garage will have quite a bit of shelving to stockpile all the Saab parts that I would care to keep. Thanks to suggestions from Frank, there will be plumbing in the garage. However, a suggestion to have a picture window to see the cars from inside the house was received too late to include.

With all this space, there will be room to get a 9-4X and 9-5, in addition to the 9-3 that I already have! Either that or a classic 900 and a 9-3 parts car (hopefully the situation with the factory will make that unnecessary)!

    I wanted a pit but it is not allowed nor is a fireman's pole allowed. Post or PM me any suggestions about a lift or what companies sell them, please.

    If you're serious about a lift, you may want to plan for that now as you'll need some more vertical space..! Perhaps at either end so you can eliminate the second floor area for that bay.

    Lifts are actually not that expensive. Sometimes you can find them used from garages that went out of business. If I would stay put in a house for a long time and had a garage like that, a lift would definitely be high on my list.
