Breezeway to detached garage |

Also posted in AskContractors
Looking for some honest feedback about this quote for some work we need done on our garage. Our previous contractor really burned us on several things, and we don't want to throw good money after bad.
What We Want Done

New concrete pad poured
Wall constructed to replace demo'd garage doowall
Wateflooding mitigation

QUOTE FROM NEW CONTRACTOR
Questions

Is this quote too high, too low or reasonable?
Is there anything missing that we should have thought to ask for based on the info/context/pictures shared below?
Is it too good to be true?
All comments/questions/ideas welcome!!

PICTURES/VIDEO/NOTES FOR CONTEXT
Location: Los Angeles, CA
Structure: 1 car detached garage, approximately 15.5' x 11.5'
End Goal: To turn it into a functional office/studio space (NOT an ADU)
What was it before: a barely serviceable space with a faux garage door on the exterior and poorly done drywall on the interioopposite side of the "garage door", that leaked whenever it rained.
BEFORE PICTURE

We had a previous contractor (the one that boned us) run power underground from the main house to the garage (previous owners had a very sketchy electrical wire that was just slung from the house and went through a hole in the garage)
They broke up the concrete in front of the garage door and re-poured it when they were done
That garage door was not functional when we bought the house. It was literally tacked up onto a wood frame (you'll see in subsequent pictures) by the previous owners

WHAT HAPPENED WHEN IT RAINED

Link to Video
We tried to clear that drain AND had a different BETTER contractor out to install a french drain (you'll see in another picture) which helped, but this wintespring saw SO MUCH rain in LA, that even the french drain wasn't able to fully keep up (we are thinking that there are likely roots we'll need to have broken up further down the pipe)?
Picture of French Drain

PICTURES OF OUR DEMO WORK
With the goal being to regain this space as a functional room/studio, we knew we had to have professional help. To mitigate costs, we decided to do as much of the demo as we could ourselves, including removing the garage door, the drywall, and breaking up as much of the concrete slab as we could

Hi I’m not sure if there is anything illegal about this but just seems not right to me. I live in an apartment complex in Oregon and have a detached garage with the only access being an electric garage door opener and key pad. I asked about getting a copy of the key in case of power outages or emergencies but I was told by the leasing office they are not giving out keys due to it being a safety issue. The exact words use used in a email were “It is a safety issue as it is not recommended for anyone to use their vehicles during severe weather conditions”
Is this legal? We store emergency supplies in our garage like sleeping bags and camp stoves and how are we supposed to access our vehicle in case we have an emergency and emergency services are unavailable and not every power outage happen during severe weather?

My neighbor in the next house has a detached garage and there is a smoke alarm in that garage that is chirping every 30 seconds for a few days.
The garage has an open window facing my house with a distance of about 5 feet, so the noise is pretty loud and disturbing at night.
I talked to them about it but they said they couldn't hear anything and told me it's crazy I'm disturbed by that. I offered to change the battery for them but they declined.
Any advice/thoughts? Thank you ahead!

My wife and I purchased our first house last summer. At the time of purchasing, we didn’t know that our entire backyard wasn’t ours. I know that’s on us for not doing our due diligence, but it hasn’t been an issue. The house was advertised as having a fenced in backyard and a shed, and our property line apparently ends about halfway through the shed, and the fence is another ~5 feet into the neighbors property. The property the shed and fence are on is part of a small lot that separates our property from our “backyard neighbors.” A neighbor across the street owns this lot.
Now, this isn’t the issue. This neighbor isn’t interested in selling the part of the property that makes up our backyard, but has no qualms with us using it as is, and doesn’t care if we replace the fence like we planned to. The issue stems from our new neighbors who purchased the foreclosed house next door a few months ago.
There’s a dead end alley that extends to “our” fence, ending a car length away from it. My wife uses that space to park, and we used our other neighbor’s landscaping(lot owners brother in law) company to turn the space into a gravel driveway. The house next door(new neighbors) have a detached 2 car garage with a driveway just before ours.
They’ve been renovating the house since buying it, and don’t live there yet. But we had issues with them blocking my wife in already, parking on the alley instead of in their driveway or garage. We kindly spoke with them about it and they put on a civil facade and said it wouldn’t be an issue anymore. Though it still is some days. We have a 3 year old and newborn, and my wife stays home with them. She doesn’t want to have to confront the neighbors every time she’s trying to leave the house with the babies while I’m at work.
We overheard the new neighbor talking to the lot owner while he was mowing, and said “we got a survey and did you know that’s your property? You should charge them rent for having their shed on it.” Shouting so my wife could hear from inside, I was at work. The lot owner pretty much waved him off.
What I’m concerned about is the new neighbor getting the city involved about our parking situation. His dismay is clearly stemming from the fact that he can’t use the whole alley as his personal driveway. And I don’t know if we have anything to back us up, especially since the alley abuts property that technically isn’t even ours. There’s also a small evergreen tree over growing from his property to our gravel driveway, and it’s getting difficult to enteexit the vehicle, but I don’t know if I can legally trim it.
The neighborhood is otherwise very friendly and everyone gets along. I’m not looking forward to them moving in.
Also, this is in PA.
EDIT: The part we graveled belongs to the lot owner. We were given his permission to do so along with parking there. He let the last homeowner park there, too. The alley is city owned, and single lane. It comes to an abrupt end, and just beyond the end is the gravel.
EDIT 2: Here’s a goofy drawing of an aerial view.
https://imgur.com/a/CKyb3De
Brown = fence/shed Blue = city owned alley Green = old neighbors property Red = new neighbors property Red P indicates neighbors garage/driveway
EDIT 3: I’m okay with burning some money to improve a neighbors property that allows me to park on it. It was turning into a mud pit. He doesn’t care the fence and shed is on his property. It’s been that way since the last homeowner moved in back in 2006. If anything I’d have grounds for adverse possession, but we’re all fine with the current situation, and I wouldn’t want to betray him like that. The man is elderly and lived in this neighborhood for decades. Three other houses on the street are family of his. I help with whatever I can. Our kids play together. It’s been a good neighborhood dynamic thus far. The spot we improved already had gravel there. It just needed freshened up.

So, I recently lost both of my parents, and I have inherited a hoarded house with four detached hoarded garages. I also had to clear out the hoard in their rented property, so I’m doing this bullshit in two states over 1,000 miles apart. I am in multiple grief support groups, but I know that that particular topic isn’t relevant to anyone but me in those groups. I can’t lie, my thoughts about the hoard consume me and I’m making a lot of progress, but I’m an only child so it’s slow going. I don’t want to take up everyone’s time in those and was looking for a more specific outlet for a child of hoarder support group.
I swear, there used to be a semi regular Zoom / Google Meet here. Is this something that still happens? If it isn’t, would anyone be interested if I made a group like this?

orangery
sunroom
greenhouse
conservatory
breezeway

Some say an orangery is a greenhouse used as a sunroom, or that a breezeway can be a greenhouse as well and not necessarily link a garage to the house. Conservatory, is that victorian only?

Been house shopping the last while and seeing entire neighborhoods of super expensive houses like in Lansdowne, Summerside, Windermere, Mactaggart, Cameron Heights, Magrath, Keswick, Wedgewood etc. Central area at the core and river valley places like Glenora/Crestwood/Laurier gets inflated due to location even for small detached garage homes - I'm just going to assume many of those are generationally owned ones which have been there for decades and inherited, but even the outskirt newer builds are always selling. How are there so many people who can afford these?
Growing up here its so insane that my friends' parents were like average bakers, hairdressers or worked at shopping mall stores to have a 2 car garage 2000sqft house for $280k back in the day 30 years ago, now selling at $650k+.
I thought I was doing ok and middle class making 6 figures, but I can't afford even basic attached garage homes. Recently bid on a few I liked but the accepted sale price was over $50k the asking price... and I'm just looking at ones in the $500k range. So discouraging. Seems like it's leaving all the 500k or less houses to be in mega demand when fewer can afford the super expensive ones. Have had to go to many showings then they get offers & acceptance to be sold in a day or 2
Is everyone just going into heavy debt to get a home? Are there multiple families in these bigger ones? Super rich people or property management companies just buying it all to rent out?

A family friend (70) asked me for help with her internet after her & her husband returned from their snowbird home. I hadn't seen them in a long time so I drove right over to their absolutely massive house.
She gave me a tour of all the work they'd had done, while bemoaning her $800/mo property taxes. When she showed me her husband's old office, a detached ~300sqft outbuilding, she explained she would be turning it into a rental and listing it for $1400/mo. This place is in the middle of nowhere and the building would have no privacy, living in their driveway essentially. Absolutely crazypants.
Their wifi router had given up the ghost while they were in their vaca home, so I drove down to the local big box store and grabbed a cheapo. Setup the new router, configured the new wifi on all of their devices, TVs, etc. About two hours work with the shopping trip.
I got an earful of all the latest talking points from Fox News while I worked, one of which included something about Sesame Street being too woke? I don't fucking know.
I handed her the receipt for the router, with tax it was $54.30. ANYBODY else and I would have just said, "It's on me, welcome home friends.". But these people can afford $50. Their garage is bigger than my house.
She gets her wallet out and starts laying bills down on the counter in front of me.
She lays down a $50, starts sifting through her wallet, lays down a $5. Keeps sifting through bills, and pulls out three $1 bills and lays them all out for me.
I grabbed $55 and said, "This'll do, you put down too much.".
She goes, "Oh no, the rest is for YOU! Thank you so much!"
In no way was I expecting to be paid for labor here. These are family friends. But that $3 tip was just insulting.
$0 would say: "We're friends, we dont pay each other" $100 would say: "I appreciate that your time has value"
But $3? That's what I leave for a tip at a restaurant when I'm ticked off. I know she didn't mean anything rude by it, but SHEESH. Somehow her concept of cash value sits in the extreme both ways.

I live in a Front/Back duplex with a detached, shared garage.
My neighbour would like to install a camera (probably a nest camera or the like) on his side of the garage, but his wifi does not reach the garage.
I, however, have an access point in the garage. He'd like to put the camera on my wifi.
I'm not worried about bandwidth or data traffic issues, I have plenty of leeway there. I am however concerned about privacy and isolating the camera from anything else on my network.
If I create a separate wifi for my neighbour, and configure it as an isolated guest network that should prevent it from accessing any wired or wireless resources on my network, correct? I'll also likely make ONLY the access point in the garage broadcast that SSID.

Just thought I'd post my FTB experience so far (ongoing, not homeowners yet). Been lurking here on reddit for a while.
We are looking to buy in Harrogate, it's considered semi posh I guess. We don't have a huge deposit (barely 10%) and we are mostly looking for something that might need some updating but is livable due to our limited savings. We are lucky that our current rent is great and location is lovely, so we felt we might have to pay more to live in a smaller place... But it would be ours.
I should also add that my husband and I are musicians and my husband specifically wants to play metal drums. Not likely he'd be able to play an acoustic kit at home, but we wanted to keep our electronic kit, and would prefer at least one room/bedroom not to border with neighbours where he could have his music room. Semi detached would be ideal but then again, more expensive and depends what layout you get. A garage would be a bonus.
We viewed a lot of houses, some of them in terrible state and terrible location. My husband grew up here and luckily knows what is what, I sometimes don't when booking. A lot of houses were overpriced to the extreme for the size, I still see some of them being listed months later...
We viewed one house in a village quite far out, and it was spacious and ticked a lot of boxes but the distance to town was just too far. We passed on it.
The first one we bid on was in town, lacked garden but had the space we needed, next to our friends. We viewed it and called the next day just to find that someone else had offered on it already and they didn't want any further bids. It was on the market for 3 days maybe. Fair, first come first served, I wasn't sure how to feel, seemed like we weren't completely sure about it and now it's gone so quickly. It was well priced but I'm picky and anxious.
Next one we put an offer on weeks later was on a busy street and needed quite a bit of updating. Kitchen was all ripped out, all decor old, unsure about heating or electrics without survey. It would have been tough on us but the thing that killed it was that EA mentioned something about land once belonging to the church and there being a clause in the contract... Neighbours said it's been for sale for 2 years with people dropping it last minute. Red flag. Turns out it had an overage clause and any redevelopment would require house owners to pay the church. So not leasehold but something almost equally unpleasant. We didn't know the implications fully but it was enough that no lender wanted to touch it with the amount of deposit we had, it seemed. That was that. We felt lucky we dipped out after talking to the broker, before instructing the solicitors.
Now the current one. We didn't look at any houses in this area before, I personally didn't know it well to consider, but this house came up recently reduced and had the layout we needed, a garage and a garden so we thought we should try? I rang the EA at 10am after a pretty naff morning we had, got a viewing same day at 1pm. We went and although it was again an older person's home, it was lovely and very well kept. New boiler, newish windows. Needed better bathroom and kitchen but not unlivable. Houses around were nice, area quiet and close to green space. We loved it and offered that same day at 3pm (under already reduced price) without even discussing with in-laws like we usually do. They got back to us at 6pm with an adjusted offer and we agreed. All other viewings cancelled and house taken off the market that same day. We were stunned we got it but unlike the previous house we don't feel the dread of making a mistake, we feel excited and hopeful, our naff morning was long forgotten. We will be able to fit our Roland kit and I'll also get my garden and be in a quiet, nice area. I guess we got that feeling that everyone is talking about, I wasn't sure I would get one.
So yeah, this is my story so far, solicitor instructed, broker doing his thing too. Wish us luck and thanks to all of you here on Reddit, I feel less clueless after reading your posts for months.

Hi, my partner and I had a viewing for this lovely property last Friday. It was a Bloor Homes 5-year-old detached 3-bed property with a garage.
The only downside might be the rear garden overlooked by a block of flats. I'm living in a Victorian terraced house for a long time and not too bothered about it. But could this be a problem when selling the house in the future?
It's been listed for 3 months, recently reduced by £7k. The guide price is £20-25k cheaper than nearby similar-sizes recent sales. I heard that the vendor is selling to move in with a partner.
Any insights or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

So I just recently got a car on March 28th. Someone rear ended me at a stop light on April 23rd. Their insurance recommended a garage that works on teslas so I went there. I kept getting calls from the garage for 3 days saying my car was ready so I was canceling meetings, and leaving work early, only for them to tell me to come back the next day each time. Finally, I get a call on May 11th saying my car is ready and to pick it up in the next 30 minutes because they’re closing. I drop what I’m doing and pick up my car. As I’m on the highway, my rear bumper literally detached from my car and I’m dragging it. I call them and they told me they forgot to screw it back on. They had to come and screw the bumper back on but it caused more damages to my car, which they’re now repairing. I’m very frustrated and I’m wondering if I can pursue any type of legal action. When I got my car I started some subscriptions which I now can’t use. Does anyone have any advice? Btw I’m in California!

I took pics, but the “Images and Video” selection thing under “Create A Post” isn’t doing anything, like it’s not functional.
So anyway these are two large wooden doors that close together and are held shut with a padlock. They are rotting at the bottom, some of the wood has rotted completely away and is gone so there is space at the bottom where rainwater and critters can get in. The wood that is framing the doors, looks like 2 x 4s is also rotting.
Not sure who to call

I am truly stumped on how to approach this.
Last year the weather started warming up and it’s the first summer in my new home. As I’m sitting out there, up starts the familiar sound of auto repair work… right on the other side of the fence. I say familiar because I literally sold and bought to get away from prior neighbors who were conducting illegal auto repair work. They got shut down because of the noise but it took years.
I looked up our plot maps and found out they have triple the property I do (I live in an older area), and that they built something they called a “detached garage” a few years ago, and it’s maybe ten feet from our property line. Right next to this garage, basically in my backyard (I can see all the cars in the slats between my fence) a few feet from the property line is where they do the repair work… with very loud machinery. They also store / idle half a dozen semi trucks again, in this corner of their property right up against our fence.
More digging revealed their own house is waaaay on the other side of the property, far from the noise, leading me to believe they know how loud auto repair work is and didn’t want it close to their actual home.
Last year I reported it to code enforcement. It took them around 6 months to get to them - and of course they had time to hide everything and when code came out, they couldn’t do anything because they’d have to see it, and the property owners lied about the noise.
I was able to push through the winter but now it’s getting warm again, and I can’t go outside without hearing deafening power tools. I can see all the cars right on the other side. I started taking recordings as proof, but I don’t know who to take it to. The sheriff will come out, but they’re smart and usually have people on the other side of the property who will report police coming..
I’m at my wits end, and pissed off, especially since they made sure they don’t need to deal with THEIR OWN noise. I do not want to move, this is my dream home.
How else can I get this to stop? Hoping you guys will have some *safe ideas. For context I’m a female whose lives alone and there’s like… fifteen men, about, who live over there.
Before you ask if I’ve talked to them. No. Why? They know exactly what they’re doing. Plus, I’m wildly outnumbered.

Yes, the same old problem - inherited a breaker panel with a missing cover. Is there any acceptable way to improvise a cover for it? It's in a residential detached garage.
I do have a model number, GE RP1210A, but it's old (structure is 1960s) and google has nothing on it. Tracking down a correct cover seems unlikely. It's a 100A 12-slot panel, replacing it outright isn't out of the question. But if there's a faster easier way, that's worth a thought.

I own a parcel of land that I would like to build a fence around. I am still awaiting a proper survey but it's all but certain my neighbors detached garage butts right up against the property line to the point that the slight overhang from the roof is technically over my plot. What are my options here assuming I don't want to gift my neighbor a strip of land? Can I build a fence within inches of the wall of this garage? I live in Iowa if it matters
