thats sweet as hell man. Too bad I don't even have any room in my driveway but for 3 all the way down, no room to work on a car, no room to store a non working car, well maybe, and our garage is almost too tiny to open the doors of a car when its inside the garage, but since our garage is ALWAYS full of ****, no car even has the chance to have its doors unopenable. lol
anyways good luck w/ the winter projecting

I'll get one, this just means I can't do anything semi-major at my house that will take over a day or two. Pity

the front section is 12' by 7' wide. and the rear section is 6'x7'. so it's about 16' long because of the angles. the back is 3' high. the front is 1.5' high. and the center is 5'8" high.

and the center post is an inch or so behind the door so you can open it.
it's a tight fit, not something you would want to try and drive in and out of everyday. but I think I could since the back is on hinges too. not something I care about since I'll probably only pull out it out once durring the winter. and it's getting torn down in the spring. (already had some neirbors come over asking questions )

it took me 3 full days. but 2 of which were in the rain and I was wet and working a bit slower also a power saw would have been nice. I cut all the wood by hand. thank god I had a power screwdriver. I also did the whole thing by myself. so it wouldn't take so long with help.

those 3 days were the most fun I've had in a while! building stuff is fun.

it's done now but it's too dark to take pics. I finished up at 11pm tonight

So now you're going to trap moisture in by the car and have a green-house effect from the plastic overtop and accelerate it rotting away? :p

there are vents on the front and back and right now i've got a fan in there too. the next day where it's sunny I'll open it up to get everything to dry.

as long as the tarp is not touching the car and air is moving inside I think it should be fine.
