  10. a prefab garage would be cheaper then a block built one. they can make them any lenth and width. if you want to lift anything just build some some hollow block pillers fill with concrete top of with a flag pop rsj on and fasten in place. main thing is the garage base wants to be 6in deep with some steel in. some time garage firms have drawings you can give to the planners. good luck swanny
