Yeah, my concern is a couple of things. One is insulation value- there's only so much insulation in a door. The other is weight; by going to the 8 foot door I'm increasing the weight, and increasing the size of opener I need. I've also over run the cost by $500 going to the 18' wide, going 8 feet high is yet another $300.
City permit- that is on my list. And for encroachments I am within the 2 feet from the lane, and I have an extra foot (so 3' total) from the one neighbour. Other side is 18 feet away from the neighbour.
I'm only doing the one door- you couldn't drive through if you wanted to, and for the man door I have it strategically placed- as close as possible to the back door of my house, and within 3 feet of the ideal location from the fire pit. (Because there will be a beer fridge in the garage.)
