soccplayer07 Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 i saw this on a another site... Can you guys help my buddy Ollie? It seems he had a new home constructed and is having a little problem getting the boat back up in the garage. He mentioned that his trailer brakes keep locking up. Can't imagine why... Quote
Luke at Gouldsboro Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 hahaha, that's funny as hell !!!!! Just a "little" incline !!!!! Quote
Carrington Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 haha you think thats bad? a local boat landing where i live is at over %50 degrees in angle. thats the main reason know one fishes the lake lol Quote
moby bass Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Now that looks to me like when the front wheels of the vehicle enter the garage, the angle is such that the middle of the undercarriage is going to get hung up. The obvious question here is why would anybody build a house/garage like that. Surely there are other plans with a sub garage and a room over it. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 how could you not bottom out going up that? Quote
Uncle Leo Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 That's an easy one. Pick up the house and move it at least 50 yards back off the street. Quote
TheBeast Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Surely there are other plans with a sub garage and a room over it. How, from the pic it appears to be complete. Quote
moby bass Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Cut the bank down, build the garage on a lower level. Doesn't have to be as low as the street but certainly lower than it is. We have a house locally that is almost the opposite problem. The house is built on street level with the garage on a basement level, with a steep driveway going downhill into the garage. Aside from not being able to get out of the garage and up the drive in snowy weather, guess what happens during heavy rains. Quote
TommyBass Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Seriously who designs this stuff? They invented bull dozers for a reason. Quote
simplejoe Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 I'm surprised that design was even approved. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted February 11, 2010 Super User Posted February 11, 2010 Photoshop fellas... lol, seriously. Quote
Eternal Angler Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 That's crazy, looks like any car would bottom out in that situation! Quote
microman Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 1. rebuild it 2. get a new trailer 3. leave the boat outside 4.get a crane and drop the boar through the roof 5. build a lake in your backyard, leave boat there. Quote
bowfish12 Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Photoshop fellas... lol, seriously. It could be but I have personally seen a few houses that have been built that are just as extreme as that when I used to read electric meters. Quote
frogtog Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Kind of reminds me of the Stick Marsh back in the early 90's. : Quote
Super User burleytog Posted February 12, 2010 Super User Posted February 12, 2010 There is a house near my in-laws that has a driveway that is just as steep as that, only about four times longer. I realize dozer work isn't cheap, but d**n. Quote
Super User cart7t Posted February 13, 2010 Super User Posted February 13, 2010 Here's the address to that house. 5028 New Bridge Road, Fayetteville, AR Put it into Google earth, there's a street view of those houses, obviously finished. The grade, while steep, isn't like the photo shown. Quote
bocabasser Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 I'm surprised that design was even approved. i was thinking the same thing. how did those prints get approved? unreal. Quote
TommyBass Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Photoshop fellas... I don't know whats worse... someone designing that like they did or someone taking the time to photoshop something so meaningless. Quote
NOVA Angler Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Doesn't look like the same house to me. Driveways aren't close enough together and I don't see a sidewalk. That driveway is still pretty darn steep though. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted February 15, 2010 Super User Posted February 15, 2010 Where I live some of the housing developers are local campaign contributors. You can guess the rest. Quote
