I drew this up Friday and took it to the metal shop guy I mentioned above. Hopefully I'll have a quote this week. AAAAAnd I hope I can afford it since I'm already building the pad...

I'll be curious what the 16x10 door will cost you?
How committed are you to just having the wainscoting on just the one side of the building?

18x10 door with opener is $4,726 without insulation or $5,470 with insulation. The opener is $1,165 of that, apparently it's gotta be big for such a heavy door.
The front is all that will be seen from the road and it's expensive. I didn't think there was a big reason to add that cost on the walls that won't really be seen.

I'm paying almost $1,700 for 10x7 doors on my garage addition. I figured yours would be a lot more, but I didn't realize how much more!!!!!
I like the wainscoting, but to me, it looks odd if you can see two walls at the same time and one wall doesn't have it.
Sounds like you have put a lot of thought into your planning.

The north wall is the front/ road side. West is blocked by the house, the road is dead end on the east side so visitors will not really have any reason to pass far enough to see the east wall, and the south wall is the back, who cares about that side right? But, yes, I agree with you. If money was no object I would have it on more than just the front wall, it would look better to me also.

I decided on 50x40. The gable end will be 50 wide and it will be the front of the building. Cost was more than i was expecting and i ran out of shale for the pad. So I decided that extra 500sqft was just out of my reach.

Pad is almost done. This is taking WAY more material than i thought.

You can always add on out the back gable. Jon

About time to dig footers. I can't find a machine with a smooth edge bucket that's small enough. Is it a huge problem to dig the footers with a toothed bucket?
