Are you sure the carport is strong enough to enclose? High winds blowing through an open carport are going to put much less force on the structure than high winds blowing against the wall of a garage.

Sounds good. I wanted to make sure it wasn't supported by aluminum sqaure tube or something. Beyond that I am no help.

You're asking for a lot out of a small area....

You'd be surprised to know how little space you actually need.

11ft is too short to consider a loft (you'd have 8-10" of structure)

Here's something quick and dirty

Consider making some loft stairs for your project. I designed a set, and with practice, I could actually run up and down them. The secret is making the "rise" standard, but halve the "run", and remove every other half tread (the stairs have a stringer in the center, or shaped treads, with "reliefs").

The design allows you to have a nearly-normal walking stair, in the space of what would otherwise be a ladder, by removing half of every tread (which you don't use unless you walk up an down like a five year old), so that you can walk down frontwise, with room for your heel, and not have to back down like a ladder.

Shipmans ladder...but with 11ft you're cracking you head on one or BOTH levels (or at least I am.....at 6'-2")

FYI a "full" bathroom with only a standup shower is not actually a "full" bath, but rather a 3/4 bath.

That is all I can add to this.

Oh, except that it must be a small car in Krabills drawing. My car is 18' bumper to bumper, and my pickup will be well over 20'!
