Question
My house sits at an elevation about 4ft higher than my garage. Do you have any idea's on how to connect them with a breezway with-out going with 10 ft walls on the new garage and 9ft walls on the breezeway? I'm haveing a heck of a time trying to plan this and every time I think I have it worked the door header comes up short! It's an 8 pitch roof.
Chris,
Without seeing the actual configuration of your buildings I can't correctly visualize what we are dealing with. I need photos and additional information such as the distance between the two buildings, which way the roofs pitch, etc.
You are welcome to send additional info to our general e-mail: info@majordesigngroup.com.
