LOL. Well, I've got a lot of work ahead of me and a lot of things I want to do with this garage. I'm even considering extending it out to another bay, or car port and adding a deck on the back side. This is really going to be a multi purpose building. I've got my wieghts in it, my heavy bag and I hope to pick up the "Half Barrel Cooler" soon. My wife will have room in the upstairs and I'll have most of the downstairs. The back room that's mostly finished is strictly for hobby work and Fiberglass etc. I'll still have room to get a full sized car in one bay, one in the car port and a small car in the other bay, if I move a few things around. We're also taking loads of stuff to sell at a flea market and , or for a yard sale.

I'm thinking of being able to work on cars, lawn mowers etc.... Grab a couple of beers, work out, kick up the stereo and do a little modeling. I want a place that I can go in the Winter and in the Heat of August and get something done. I'm orgainzing all my tools and we're getting ready for another run to Home Depot. As soon as this freakin rain stops, I hope to be able to start really kicking tail on some of this.

Heck, I'm buying a new "Home Theater System" for the house, so I can take the one we have and put it in the garage. "I like to ROCK!"

With the recent storms I've had to repair some of the felt work that I've already done.

Dug my heavy bag out so that I can get it hung.

I wanted to show a long shot just to show how big it is and to show where I want to add the addition. As you can see, I've actually got two and a half floors. When we get the interior closer to being done, the top half under the roof will be for long term storage. On the right side of the garage is the perfect place for the addition of the carport/addition.



As you can see in the photo below, I planned the addition by running a series of 2X4"'s down the length of the wall, this is so I can tap into that wall for the roof that's to come.

Got a little more landscaping done and hung up several "Bluebird Houses." We already have guests.

We're backed up right to the forest,so I want to replace that chain link fence with a higher, wooden fance. We litterally have deer and rabits coming out of the woods to eat from our garden.



I don't mind them eating the salt off of the driveway in the Winter, especially around "Deer Season", but I don't much care for them eating my garden.

Yeah, you should see it from the far rise behind the house. I've got an interesting photo I'll have to get and post. There's a 53 Chevy, up on its side, in the woods, with a tree growing through it, laying near the middle of a stream.

Some decent weather! I've been waiting on a load from Home Depot for two days and it finally arrived today. I can finally get back to work on the "Man Cave" unfortunately, there's supposed to be some more rain on the way! Will it EVER end?

I had to clean up a boatload of limbs and twigs that have been knocked down during all of the storms.


Sat here for three hours waiting pensively for the truck to show up.


I'm not used to letting other people do my work for me, but this guy had his own fork truck, so I didn't feel to bad.


I've got siding, lumber, cinder blocks, top soil, multch, nails, screws, tools, and more than enough to keep me busy for awhile.




Time to get to work. WHOOT!
