Nice work! Very efficient building methods. I'd like to see more of how you finish it out with electrical, heating, insulation, and the rear deck addition. I would call this a "Carriage house" as opposed to a garage. This would be a nice way to add a rental apartment to a residential home site. Thanks

Hey Ken, My first time commenting. Love watching your videos, the length of your videos are perfect for a morning coffee and your content is precise and to the point, NO DRAMA, just a little humor now and then, thanks for that. I have many questions but that would take all morning and 10 cups of coffee. I don't know if you have a video of your tool trailer? if not, do you think it could be of any value or maybe just entertainment? Any how, great work, and have a great day. Stay safe.

My only thought is if you intend to have a deck off the back, would it not be better to have the access stairs to go via the deck rather than inside? It would give a little more floor space and leave the entire garage area seperate, particularly good if the garage and the apartment are rented out separately or used by different people. if I understand correctly, that would mean turning some other area into an egress, right?
