Well, it's Abscos skillion roof carport that's very strong, more than the gable one last time I checked. Gable roof carports can also cut out sunlight to house windows, while skillion leaves some light at top . You'd still need a shed for storage. Garages are obviously more secure for the car. Re a large shed/garage, you can get extra windows and skylights in many, also roll insulation and cyclone bracket kits. Some have extra height, if you have a boat, or are tall. you pay extra for colorbond. If its visible from the street, or from entertaining rooms, that's worth it. They have regular sales. one person needs a helper at certain stages. A mate of ours dislocated his shoulder while carrying a large sheet of steel, for a large commercial shed, when a gust of wind caught it. solar garage lights are available in hardware stores, you'd need a few for a garage, or wire the shed to house. Hardware stores also have storage systems for common shed/garage items, to click and store on the metal walls. My first hubby used to say, every man needs a shed, with a couple of old bucket seats from a Datsun in it...

Just comes down to how much you're willing to spend. What some say is expensive maybe good with others. As oklouise said, have a chat with a builder. I'd have a chat with an engineer as well probably beforehand. Builder's can bump up estimation's if the project is unclear or looks difficult. Could be worthwhile having a chat with a designer (architect/building designer/etc) as they may be able to come up with a solution as well that can achieve a similar affect.

We have Paramount in floor pool cleaner with hedge/plants around pool. Infloor pool cleaner is awesome. I vacuum pool 2-3 times a year.

Hi, we are living in our old townhouse & would like to replace the old stairs but to do this we know we will need two structural posts with a joining beam to support the upper floor. I dont even know where to start with this project so seeking some upfront guidance - would I need to get a builder to coordinate this, a building designer or a seprate staircase & engineering company of some variety...?? I will attach a pic that a neighbour did (they sold so cant ask what process they went through but believe they were in the trade themselves...) many thanks in advance!
