[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 239835, member: 3373"] Sounds like you pretty much have a plan but a couple things come to mind. Is it ok to have a stall deeper? Absolutely, in fact a break-up will most likely add to the curb appeal of your property. Having worked in construction I think curb appeal is always very important. Additions should not look added on. If you have room I wold even consider a 4th stall to have room for everything you list. Depth is important. Allowing for 2 feet in front and back of the vehicle will cause you to wonder why you didn't make your garage deeper. Floor heat is nice but does nothing to move the air and a garage in the winter is going to have moisture every time you drive a vehicle with snow on it into the garage. Plan for some air movement to eliminate excessive moisture. I like metal along the bottom 4 ft. Doing the whole thing works but I like the looks of the split better. Outlets (lots of them) at light switch height. You're not in your living room and trying to hide anything. Get to be my age and bending over to plug in a cord is a pain in the back. A thought: To have space for your freezers, gun safes, work bench, etc., instead of a 4th stall, is a separate room a possibility? Yes there are CAD programs available for planning. Can't recommend one but a building center may have one, especially if they are going to sell you the material. Or a contractor if you are hiring the construction of the garage. You are well on your way to a good plan it seems to me. [/QUOTE]
