Garages

I have been looking at information for DIY Garages. Seems like an appropriate topic for this site since it is viewed by car lovers, and DIYers.
Here is a post from the youtubes - A guy in New England built a 24x24 garage himself - except for the concrete work for $8500, including the concrete work charges.

Looks great.
For me, if I were to do one, I think I would want 30 to 36x24 if that would fit on my property across from my house in the Driveway circle.
Reasons for the slightly larger size is storage ( I don't have a great shed situation ) and work area. I am not finding many plans online that are simple like this build. It would also be nice if I could get prefab trusses that arch up so there is a higher ceiling over the middle bay in case I ever get a lift.
