Here are the intermission pictures. We got water in the house from all the rains and while we were addressing that, decided to fix a long standing drainage issue. The area with the Japanese maple just fills up with water during heavy rains and can work its way into the house. The fix was not cheap though.

I love it and have to say that the glass doors and garage doors are so in keeping with the character of the house. Good on you and thanks for sharing!
(btw IMO Georgia pollen is the worst but not a big price to pay for living in such a wonderful state)

Very nicely done Jay. That conversion definitely completed the all around look of the house. I am doing something similar and ordered the same garage door.

Crazy to me that down here (central part of the country) million+ houses have carports, they are fancy carports … three and four cars … but they’re still carports (as you mentioned the leaves blow in in the fall and the pollen, which is terrible around here, comes in in the spring ). Did your bunch other crazy crap down here also like putting HVAC equipment…
Anyway curious ballpark how long did it take?
and I’m assuming the glass or translucent garage door is relatively expensive but just a ballpark for the total project cost? I. ’m trying to get a girlfriend to enclose her carport
ps. Love how it all came together

Thinking of converting out garage on our semi. Few questions. The area is only 8x20ft is that a workable area for a child’s bedroom once insulated etc? I am thinking of making it a 2 storey extension to allow for a storage utility and accessibility to the back garden. - we own the full freehold to the garage but only share of freehold with the upstairs flat on the adjoining building. As there are no windows overlooking the garage site am I permitted to use the second floor area? And would a mansard roof work on the site.

Even if you weren't a car geek the upgrade to your house's appearance is huge. Nice job. If you decide to do the floor I decided to use porcelain tile and epoxy grout. Lasts forever and you can clean it with anything. Best money I've spent, but this truly is my last home.
I did a faux stone tile, but they also have these faux distressed wood tiles that are non-slip.
