Here is a Google Earth picture of a garage that we assembled in 1988 ....I remember it was 1988 that is the year before my grandfather passed away.... I suspect it's been used as a garage as that was its intended purpose.... This is up on the Canadian border in a little place called Massena New York.....

Not exactly what you're looking at (could be used for it though) ; but I saw something like this in Summerville GA and I think if we ever move , I'm going this route. I heard you have no heat or a/c bill?

There's one in the ground up the road from me.. claims it stays pretty chill all year 70-75 underground

If you go this direction, consider the erection process. 60’ wide is not twice as wide as 30’ when it comes to these. I’ve been involved in putting a couple of the up. I’ll be glad to share my experience. You can occasionally find ones that were ordered and then cancelled. They are “discounted”. Make sure you buy every thing you need up front because they kill you on after the fact add on’s

Summerville? Looks more like The Shire.

How much cheaper could they be than a prefab shed that you finish out?

My father was going underground until the cost ran him up into a log cabin. I like the underground option. The only problem is that I want to be underground and not much showing. The woman will not agree!

I'm not finding any contractors that build these. I did find a nice one (IMO) in Morganton GA for under $300k but it looks like it's gone. That's a beautiful area if you didn't already know. I can't post the list on Realtor.com , says it's "not secure" . I don't know where you're thinking about building? Most of the underground homes I've found for sale are ridiculously priced. Hope you find what you're looking for.

Considering loads. If built here I don't think snow loads will ever be an issue. Also by the very design/shape they are very structurally sound. Arches have been around forever and are still standing from back during the roman times. I would love to build something into the side of a hill.
