| Lightning sent a neighbor's 60' tree crashing down onto our 80-year-old garage. Local modern-day zoning and building codes say it must be rebuilt to its original size - no bigger or smaller. No plans that I can find online are the required footprint, 10'W x 18'L.
Insurance is quoting a figure for replacement that has all the contractors we've spoken to laughing at us. If I could save some money on the plans that we'll have to submit to the building department, I would have a little more to put toward the actual structure. We're looking for a very basic peaked roof design, with a standard garage door opening on the 10' dimension and no other doors or windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

| I've had some luck by getting my contractor, who has done a lot of insurance claim jobs, talk directly with the insurance adjuster and come to a 'meeting of the minds' as to the rebuild cost. |
