IMHO, get a copy of your house plans (sumter county building department) then contact the engineering firm that designed your house and have a discussion with them. On our model the pocket will have a very negative impact on the storage above the garage, and I only needed and additional10 inches to stack both cars.
In any case good luck with your project.
Good information, thanks!
