Like all good plans this one had to be revised right off the bat. After doing a rough layout I realized the garage was going to be too close to the road. I did a quick redraw and pulled it back 4’. I’m still getting use to these zero lot lines and tiny lots though. The foundation seems to take up the whole lot. Unfortunately it stills leaves a little room for grass but I think I can still maneuver my lawn tractor enough to cut it.
The next problem was the step-down foundation. I have never done one of these and as simple as it looked I still had to have the brick mason come back twice. I had to keep rising it up a few block on the step downs. I was really worried I was going to need to raise the whole foundation but with the final rough cut done it looks like it will work OK.
We are now ready for concrete in the basement. It's not a basement that is accessible from the main floor. It is a shop and storage basement for me! I just hope I don't end up having to sleep down there any.
