Default Garage BEing Framed

Are you going to put a high enough peak on the roof to allow easy mounting
of solar PV panels?

I poured a pad for my garage and tried to heat it but the pad was a mistake
in my climate in the winter. Looking back I should have put in proper
footings and done it differently, for floor insulation purposes (shop
usage).
Another mistake was the 15' height allowance bylaws and I designed my
trusses too high and the ceiling ended up right at 8'...bad mistake for a
workshop.

Exactly.
I like garages at 10 ft.
Many items come from the store in 10' lengths and it is nice to fit them in.
Also I can drive my huge truck in my garage with a load of lumber on the
rack, or scaffolding, etc. and not hit the ceiling.

Looking Good!

Looks like you are going with a 9'-10' ceiling. We had a new house
built with a 3 car and I ended up up with a 9' ceiling bonus that I
almost appreciate as much as the 3rd car. It is really nice to not be
bumping into he ceiling with 8' stock.
