Garage made MAJOR progress

Mon November 27, 2006 @ 6:08 am

Thanks for all the help on the garage Mike and Patti!!!!!!! We have made big time progress in the past 2 days with help. The rains are moving in and we should have at least half of the roof DONE before it hits. Thanks also to Paul, Marie and Eric for helping get the heavy wood up top. More pictures are posted in the woodshed album.

Garage construction

Paul and I have been busy with the garage construction, have the walls up and some of the ceiling joists in place. We hope to have the roof on this weekend and do have help coming. Mike and Patti are coming up for the weekend to help. We did find out the 12 foot roll up garage door Paul wanted would have to be special ordered so will be building the doors ourselves. Do have new pictures posted in the “woodshed” album of the 1st and 2nd day construction.

Did hear through the grapevine (thanks June) that the station is GONE and they are starting on the smokeshop. Hope to get pictures soon of that progress. Did get a picture myself on Nov 15th of the bay doors removed and a big traco out front. Will post some of those as I get them.

Well the past month has been spent trying to heal a bum back. Got the propane line moved, but we dug the trench and that did the back in. Have managed to get the form built for the garage pad and finally got it poured professionally Monday. We can start building on it Wednesday and can put cars on it in a week. We have kept busy with moving dirt and rocks. Had 3 loads dropped off (free). We have the first load moved to our “fill” area and about 1/4 of the second one moved to the garden plot. Still have much dirt and rock to move and plant. The power company can out and cut down the 2 trees that were threatening the power lines so we also have 2 piles of wood and brush to clean up, move and stack. We are not bored by any means.
