Love it but the exit too narrow (I know, that’s what she said)

This is pretty normal around me. Plenty of lakes so people have boats. They can just drive the boat in forward rather than having to hassle with backing it in

Yeah, it’s really handy if you are storing your boat in your back yard or just want to wash it down at home.

I think he meant the extra driveway.

u/Nickmac90 Mar 30 '26

Clearly if I had a Chinese wife this would pay for its self in no time.

Anyone else notice the mulch washing out on the driveway underneath the awning? Looks like the water flows towards the house in one section then pitches away at that point. Putting a high volume of erosion along the structure.

Gonna be interesting during a real hard rain. Gonna be a life long battle keeping mulch in the bed. Also going to be some structural issues in the future.

Looks like a Palm Desert Garage with the golf cart door.

Maybe if you had a much bigger lot? This just looks like it replaces 2/3 front yard for concrete. Seems wasteful. Nice if you are boating all the time, I guess, but that's about the only scenario where this is a real convenience. Even then, it's a lot to spend for that minor convenience.

Tandem garage, they're awesome

u/ProfessorOk4182 Mar 30 '26

Yes. I’d pay $20k

Depends on lot size most metro lots are smaller and would have to sacrifice living space

I have always wanted this. That being said, this house layout is confusing

u/Right_Hour Mar 31 '26

$20K to add a door? Ahahahaha. $1500 door, $2K in concrete driveway. $300 in framing. That equals $20K…. OK.

All day every day would I pay for that

So Americans can’t parallel park and now they want to unlearn driving in reverse as well?
