New Project Begins

Surprise, surprise! I had given up on it ever happening but it has begun! We are building a new free-standing garage on our north lot. To back up a bit, the former owners of our house built on a closet on the north side, and in so doing they built one foot of it on the property to the north. Now since they owned it too I am sure they did not give it much thought but it has caused a wrinkle or two for us. For one thing, we could never sell that lot, not that we ever intended for that to happen. And it really hadn't been an issue up to this point but now we are marrying the two lots together forever and ever. Done!

Butch is standing in the middle of the space that will hold the building and Russ is standing on the far north edge. If you enlarge the picture you can see a stake on the south edge of the proposed building.

I plan to take a picture from the same spot as things progress. It will measure 24 x 30 feet and its main purpose will be to house a pool table. You might also notice how brown our grass is. We have not had any rain for a long time. It happens to be "raining" as I write this but Butch checked the rain gauge and the bottom of it isn't wet yet.

We are excited about our new project and hope to see it progress in a timely manner. Butch asked me to call my sister Myrla because it is her pool table that will be finding a new home in our building and she assured me it is still ours for the taking. Now we need to find a couple of strong guys to help us move it when the time comes....Hmmm, Do you think we will have the same trouble as someone who tries to have a "Painting Party"?
