SpongeBob's New Home

David,

I'm a little cornfused (sic) after looking at the pics and drawings. Why are you changing ingress and egress from the end to the side of the building? Is there a good reason for not continuing the existing roof slope direction over 16' high walls? I'm not clear on how high the existing exterior walls are but it looks like they are already high enough to allow the H3-45 to clear. It appears you already have a paved drive that could be converted to the floor. Granted, it wouldn't be a drive through but you wouldn't have to install new driveways and it would be less expensive to build. Really, ceiling clearance doesn't need to be all that great. Think about it, how often you would need to access the top of the bus to do maintenance anyway.

Here are a couple of pics showing my bus under a 16' ceiling although the H3-45 will be about a foot taller. As you know, this is new construction and a little tight on the width as it is only 16' wide (15' less walls).

I am adding 2" of reinforced concrete to the 4" depth of the driveway portion where the bus will be rolling over to enter and exit the garage.
