What puzzles me is when a couple "need", say, a 2400SF house...or worse, if their vehicles also sit outside their garage... Seems backwards to me, but I've always been around guys who have shops and Did Stuff. I just don't "know any better"

I have a 900 sq ft attached garage and my shop is in a detached 100x60 ft building. Shop started out as a 40x60 then added another 40 ft to it. The race trailer and RV took up to much work space. I have 900+ sq ft attached to my 1800 sq ft house as well. Guy down the street has a house similar to the OPs pic. He puts an RV in there with some other toys.

Seems backwards to me, but I've always been around guys who have shops and Did Stuff. I just don't "know any better" We have 2 brand new houses in our neighborhood. Both are 2400+ sq ft w/3 car attached garages and they still have cars/trailers/campers sitting outside because the garage if full of "stuff'

Mine isn't connected either, but 24x36 garage, same height as the one pictured, 2 bays, big doors, and a workshop. Right even with the front of the house and 8 feet away from the attached 2 car garage which I believe is 18x20. For years the wife complained that it looked like a garage with a house attached to it. We redid the interior of the house a couple of years back after 20 years of living with blah. Now the wife doesn't say anything except she likes the house so much that she would consider not moving when we retire.

There is a house like that here near the Boise foothills area. Has three garages attached to it all in a row. Looks kinda stupid from the road and I'm actually surprised the city would let it thru. The old guy who owns it has it full of jet skis, a boat, atvs, and an RV/camper so it's just a storage facility for his toys.
Paste and street view this if you want to see it.
43°40'39.09"N 116°16'2.62"W I thought that was a townhouse or condo when I 1st looked at it. I thought all the garages were for multiple tenants.

My attached garage is 30x46, and has 2 levels. it works out to 2400sqft, of garage. I also put in attic trusses, and have 600 sqft of storage space above. When I first moved in, I thought there was no way i"d fill it up. 13 years later I have to park my daily driver outside... I do have cars in it though. Some of them not mine.

I'm guilty of having a shop larger than the house. Our house is about 2600sqft or so. My shop is 145' x 120', which works out to about 17,400 sqft. We are on 20 acres, though.

My kind of garage, but after a few years it’s full so another one in the south 40. Mine is 3300 looking to make bigger (might have t move my shop business down) house is 2300 two story with 2 car garage and packed. One man should not keep this much stuff.

We bought the property with the building - I didn't build it. I do use a portion of the shop for my small engineering business. I like having a 30 second commute in the morning.
