Hey Guys,
I might be involved in 2 closing in real estate soon which could net me something I could invest into a 2nd garage at my home. I currently have 2 Cars (My Integra & FD) and I plan on racing the FD (Track's & AutoX) and currently am occupieing one spot in my father's 2-car garage attached to our home. He won't mind me building something to get my car out of there :P.
Something like www.ultimategarage.com would be only a dream right now, since I have a smaller budget. But I was wondering if anyone here has estimated the cost of a decent sized, 2 car garage. What are my options (estimates) for heating, perhaps being able to wash my FD (and something else soon perhaps ) inside (gutters?) and a lift (They seem overwhelmingly expensive... ).
Nothing's set in stone yet, in real estate especially, but I was wondering if anyone knew of smart prices or sites to plan with. If it's too much than I can afford, perhaps I'll have to simply build a 2 car garage without anything "special" inside.
I previously worked in construction so I am getting estimates on concrete/foundation work and the lumber.
Any help/pointers are superappreciated fella's.

you can wash your car inside your garage here, just cant drain it, lol
they frown upon drains in garages.
budget about $25000 for that project, you can get a metal shed a bit cheaper, but you would still need a driveway to it as well as a foundation/floor, electric, water, insulation, heat, lighting etc..
