At my old house I had a pretty solid garage setup, with plenty of space for everything. When we moved I had to sacrifice in land and garage space, as finding what we were looking for in our budget just wasn't happening. The boat would fit in the attached garage, but this was already filled with my tools and the wife's car. I also have a 1.5 car metal building (actually a carport the previous owner enclosed) but the boat doesn't quite fit... well that's what I got right now. This was leaving me with frustration of dealing with birds, not having enclosed lockable storage, etc. I had spent most of the year calling around to contractors to either build a new, larger garage or to have just a retaining wall done where I could stick build a garage myself after. Unfortunately with higher prices and growth in the area I was either getting "no call/no show", "we're not taking on more work" or estimates that were 4x higher than pre c19 pricing. Nuts. I finally decided that for now I'm enclosing the front covered area of the metal building so I can get back on the project. Note I moved the door so now I can store both the boat and my tractor in there and actually get them in/out. But as of this weekend I'm 100% on the project and I can get back to the boat after some time off. When the day comes that the boat is finished, I will likely replace this building then.
