We had to completely destroy the front yard to run 400 amp service to the house, and then across the yard again to the garage.

One question - How are you gonna get any large items down into the bunker using the tiny spiral staircase??
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Haven't posted in a while guys, been busy building a home for my '00 996 and my vette.
Thought you might like to take a peek..
Here's the build thread
I started in May of '07 in building a garage on my lot next to my house.
Originally I wanted to put in a second story for some office space, theater room etc. The city ***** put an end to that with their height restrictions, so I decided to do the next best thing, build down.
First, we started by clearing out the RV pad that ran along the side of the house.
Then start digging a big hole
Here you can see the tunnel to the main house
AH! Found the gas line.. I'm sure this whole project is OSHA approved.
Footings
Can't find the pic with all the forms built up, it was a huge mess, here's the final foundation.
After a 2.5 month wait, we finally get steel delivered.
(I'm skipping all the drama here, and we were out of town for two weeks when the B-decking went down over the beams, and the rebar reinforced concrete was poured over the beams)
Framing
Ah yes.. the drama with the power. We had to completely destroy the front yard to run 400 amp service to the house, and then across the yard again to the garage. (wife was thrilled)
Getting a new driveway poured...
Inside garage sheetrock pics
Workbench area, wired for TV in the corner
Some of the work being done in the theater room (under the driveway)
Fast Forward.. here's how everything looks today.. all these were taken this afternoon
Out front
Side door.
Inside, paint job just finished...
**** t-5 lights man, way small but we have 7 banks of the six lights in there, it's like a freakin' operating room man.. very bright
Workbench area
Heater for the 5 degree days in Utah man <shiver>
And now.. downstairs in the "bunker" area, this is the door in the garage just to the right of the workbench area that leads downstairs. This is the door that I wanted to put a coke machine in front of. <still working on that>
Down the staircase...
A pic of the main area directly under the garage, all set up to be a home gym.
A shot to the left, room on the right is the office, on the left is a bathroom.
A look down the hall to the home theater room
Inside the theater
All the **** home automation wiring. I seriously don't even know what half of it is for..
Storage room
From the main house, looking down the secret tunnel
Around the corner and down into the bunker
That's it so far..
About 1,200 sq feet of garage space, and about 2,350 of space underneath.
:thumbs:
Movin' pretty slow the last few weeks.. but my painter finally got back from vacation and was able to spend the last few days getting the epoxy laid down on teh garage floor. Just put the sealer coat on yesterday.
Have to give it 3-4 days to totally cure, then I'll actually be parking in there
Also got the speakers installed.. gotta have tunes man!!
So, now just waiting on the plumber to come put in the sink, and waiting for the diamond plate baseboard that will sit on top of the interior foundation, and I'm good to go...
Damn! That must have cost a small fortune! Nice work!
One question - How are you gonna get any large items down into the bunker using the tiny spiral staircase?? Or did I miss a larger entrance/exit?
WOW!!!
Way to overcome you obsticles. I would probably never leave my garage if it looked like that. Your title, Dream Garage, is very fitting to say the least.
Who is in charge of whipping down tires?
That is definitely one of the coolor photo posts I've seen in a while. The garage looks great and I know that home theater is going to rock. Don't think that I didn't notice the 12" stadium seating.
I'd probably actually say "no" or "not by much". What he built there is essentially a small single family home, albeit one with a large capped garage. I assume that he already owned the land it's on, and the only part that affects the existing house is the walkway into the lower foundation, which probably wasn't a big deal.
Nice pics of a top shelf project. Amazed at the size of the footings...until I saw the steel and poured concrete floors. The garage space alone is remarkable. Nice work.
so awesome...great documentation of the entire process. Your garage is bigger than my condo!!!! California sucks.
What vehicles get to park in that beautiful garage space? What kind of home theater is going in? I'm so jealous.
speechless. Your wife must be a patient woman. That is one helluva project. Keep us updated on the home theater going in.
Your garage looks just like the shop at my local P dealer in Long Beach. NO JOKE.
Great job.
Call me i you need a bit of help with your home theater. Here is a bit of the work I do featured in the April issue of Sound & Vision magazine.

Yup two windows. City code. Emergency exit... and they require a certain percentage of "natural light" in a basement.
Suprisingly (even though they are 15 feet down) we get a good amount of light through them, go figure...
Cool. I thought when I saw the pics that the area around the garage was filled in/closed over.
Surprised about the requirements since you already have two exits.
REALLY surprised about natural light being a requirement.
That is SUCH a cool set up.
