Uh-Oh........you don't have any place to turn the car around in the driveway!
The slab outside the garage door looks like it tapers way too fast.....you are going to have a real challenge to stay on the concrete when pulling in/out of the garage.
It is not as bad as it looks, its pretty easy in fact to get in and out of the garage. The driveway is not that long and what you cannot see is my turnaround at the bottom of the driveway. It is a large pea gravel area I am planning to box in with railroad ties eventually. Of course its easy now when there is nothing in there to get in my way.

Just the one Moto unfortunately. Maybe one day I'll have another but I bet I'll have to get rid of one of my cages before that can happen. I'm pretty much at my limit of vehicles. Pushing for that 5th bicycle right now.

Nice, I've considered getting a 'fitness' bike (trek FX) and cycling for fun and transpo, but now I'm 20 miles from my job, not sure how feasible that'd be for work, since i last rode a bike more than a couple miles back in the early 90s
still, I expect it'd be good for my knees, as well as other fitness papameters

OK, pretty much got this thing done. Just trying to get the siding on. My contractor is pretty much done with his part, I did the soffits and fascia, my first experience with a metal brake, went well. Once the siding is in the lights can go on and then I will just need to button up the sliding rear barn door.

Nice garage! One of my retirement pipe dreams is a cozy little house for the Ladyfriend & me...and a BIG garage/shop.
Murphy's Law, part 3: "One's possessions will expand to fill the space available."
Ladyfriend & I combined households last year, & despite selling off most of my furniture, donating books & clothing to non-profits, & 2 yard sales, our 2-car garage is full of stacked boxes & totes...*sigh*..there's room for the S40 & my Virago920 "project," but I still feel like I'm rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic whenever I do a project.
One idea I have is to build store cubbies around the perimeter of the garage for storage of infrequently-used items like camping gear, and put rudimentary flooring over the garage rafters for seasonal storage (ex. Christmas decorations). Will have to wait for good weather, though...see afore-mentioned "deck chairs."

Rodger,
I put folding stairs to the space above the garage and covered the rafters with 4'x8' sheets of Aspenite.
All the junk that was in the way is now in the attic, I should wear a helmet when I go up there because I frequently bump my head.

Murphy's law of 'stuff' is definitely true, going from a 2 bdrm apt to a bitty travel trailer shows me how much 'stuff' I have I don't really need (but still haven't given up, paying storage sucks)
Ain't it something how, when someone agrees to cohabit with a ladyfriend, it's mostly
his
stuff that gets binned?
Honestly the main reason we westerners need such big homes is to store 'stuff'. I think a small home with a big garage and / or storage buildings makes much more sense.
My dream house is a 'Garage Mahal' with a small living quarters attached
