My home won't have a lot of stairs because of the lot I chose (on the downside of a hill), but the other one I looked into has a lot of stairs and is still a lot bigger than mine. This garage looks tiny! I know I'm only at the foundation stage, but the outline of the garage looks really, really small. Hopefully I'm overreacting...

Take a tape measure out. Most 2 car garages are at least 20x20.

I agree about the tape measure. If there is a probablem the sooner it's brought to their attention the more likly it can be fixed. I would try to check it out one day this week after work... maybe after 7 pm the workers will be done?
I went out during my lunch and spoke to Rebecca and Karla some more and Brant assured Rebecca my car would fit. I didn't have time to measure today, but both said they'd measure and we'll compare notes. It just looks really, really small. The bad part is they've moved on to other parts of the foundation, so as much as I'd hate for them to start over, it won't hurt me one bit!
I had the same thought about our garage but believe me your car will fit. My wife has a Camry that's a bit longer than a CRV and it fits just fine in the garage in our smaller house. Everything seems smaller when there's no drywall up.
BTW, I can see the progress on your house from ours and it's coming along nicely. They move fast here!
Yay! I have 'eyes' watching the progress of my home! Thanks, guys!
It makes me feel a little better that the garage will be big enough. I'm not crazy about them being finished in June, but hey, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. Worse case scenario: My house sits vacant until the end of August, which is when we were supposed to close.
I'm trying not to drive out everyday, but it's been hard. I don't drive out when it rains, because I can't really see anything, but this weekend is supposed to be nice, so I may be out.
We almost stopped, but my daughter had to get to a Habitat for Humanity function, which was over by Southern High School. I'm sure we'll be driving down your street again!
When our house was being built, I was out here a couple of times a week, walking through it, etc. Do you have a realtor keeping an eye on things for you? My realtor caught a few things that would have slid by me like a cracked cinder block in the foundation. It was nice to know that I had a professional set of eyes on the construction.
