Carports vs. Garages: Pros and Cons
Which is better, a carport or a garage?

The primary objective is to provide a secure, easily accessible, and cost-effective storage solution.

Would like to construct 2-bedroom apartments simplex, that will have 6 apartments. I have a plan however I need some modifications and also there are existing foundations. Services I require: building walls, with aluminium windows, door frames and doors, tiled roof (hip or open gable), floor tiles, septic tank, sinks, toilets, bathtubs.
I would like to remodel the house, extend the outside walls by a meter, change the main bedroom window into a sliding door. New roof and get the ceiling a bit high. Upgrade the electrical wiring, change windows and doors, upgrade the current sliding door into the folding one. Upgrade the bathrooms. Change the double garage roof from zinc into tiles ( Tuscan style) extend the back room and laundry, add inside shower and toilet.
It is a residential property that I am considering purchasing. But would like ideas on space within the house, current floors or replace the floors, would think I need to replace cupboards, etc. house is 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, dining room, kitchen and a bar. Just want to ensure the most optimal space. Is that something you are able to assist with?
My place is in Welkom. I'm busy trying to do rezoning and the town planner suggested that I should get an architect to do a plan for me. According to him he said the municipality can only allow 8 rooms. My wishes: 8 rooms, I wanted more if possible but with the restrictions in that municipality it might be a problem according to the town planner. I also need each room to have small kitchen area, place to sleep, and toilet with shower.
The front of the house is a double storey, the back is only one storey. I need another floor added to the single storey, with a double garage, bedroom, bathroom and entertainment room. As well as a kitchen and dining room at the bottom of the existing floor. The bottom floor would be around 11 x 9sqm and the top floor would be 6 x 9sqm.
A few small jobs, eg plastering here and there, rhino lite on 4 walls, varnishing and fitting of 2 doors, fitting of skirting to 25m length walls, fitting of 4 curtain rails, paving in front of double garage for 2 vehicles (approx 4m), "relaxing" of ramp in front of double garage that is currently too high
We would like to add a roof with to an existing structure outside by the kitchen door as it has current walls plus two small gates. We would like to have one door and the roof has to have a rectangular aluminum and safety glass skylight. We unfortunately do not have house plans to supply the correct sizes.
I am currently away and site visits can be arranged with my son in Durbanville. Please contact me on email and we can then discuss further and make arrangements. We need to lift up all the tiles in downstairs area Inspect the foundation for possible cracks where we had water well up during the winter Repair the slab where and if necessary Ensure it’s ready and in condition to tile or screed Remove skirting which got wet Inspect replace or simply renovate and put back Seal cracks in a wall on outside where we think there was possible water entry Remove windows and doors and plaster ready to have new aluminium single unit inserted Ensure all tiles and rubble chipped up is carried to skip for removal Painting of areas where required Leave site in clean and neat condition
1. Balcony window • Re-secure the window bar’s fittings into the correct position across the width of the window. (The window bar came loose and is currently held in place with cable ties.) 2. Balcony wall (Option 1 - Seal & paint) • Remove all paint off balcony wall down to original brick work • Apply x2 coats of xypex concentrate • Apply primer once xypex has dried • Apply x2 coats white bathroom paint (mould-proof) to entire balcony wall, surrounding balcony walls and balcony ceiling 3. Balcony wall (Option 2 - Paint only) • Apply x2 coats white bathroom paint (mould-proof) to entire balcony wall, surrounding balcony walls and balcony ceiling 4. Kitchen wall • Break through a section of the kitchen wall to create a 'sort of' half wall between the kitchen and living room, given the potential structural limitations of the wall. The aim is: To have light carry through from the kitchen to the lounge in the afternoon, and from the lounge to the kitchen in the morning. The apartment is quite dark. To create more of a connection between the kitchen and the living area, making it feel less isolated, but still separated. To ever so slightly increase the usable surface area in the kitchen. 5. Parquet floor sanding • Sand down the parquet floor and baseboards in the bedroom, lounge and entry-way. Then, re-stain with a light stain to remove scratches, stick down loose pieces and overall lighten the apartment. Thanks so much!
