Carports vs. Garages: Pros and Cons
Which is better, a carport or a garage?
I have an old 3 bedroom house I'd like to remodel into 2 Semi-detached units approx 65sqm each offering 2 bedrooms. I am not yet sure if this can all be accommodated within the current building envelope. The end product is to create 2 new independent units for rental income. Some work may be required for landscaping and creating separate entrances.
We have long tandem garage and there is separate room under back end of garage for storage. Wood sheet flooring was done by previous owner, but it is not supported from floor to beams for heavy load of a vehicle. We would like to strengthen the wood floor 3mx3m size which has mmx50mm beams running across only. Need most cost effective and easiest solution for this alteration.
