Carports vs. Garages: Pros and Cons
Which is better, a carport or a garage?
This is a very old property and it’s one of those old Hutton properties where everything needs to get sorted out from the electrical stuff I mean the electrics in the house is just appalling it needs a solar rooftop thing, there’s air locks in in the system so there’s often times where we don’t get water. There’s a lot that needs to be done
The site is a triangle. A small front equals to a car gate area. I have a plan draft which depicts a small double storey house with a basement. My plan has one large en suite bedroom, small kitchen a lounge, 2 bathrooms and a dressing room on the upper floor. An entrance hall and staircase on the ground floor. A basement underground. The roof is concrete and has skylights which are protected by burglar guards. The whole house will built of concrete like a bridge. Three small windows only; 2 x for bathrooms and 2 at a passage. Skylights and a number if top and bottom ventilators. Security against looting and buglar is emphasised on plan. Dust also is considered. Only one door. Top door leading to the roof.
