LOL....love leaving the cliffhangers for everyone!!
Work has really ramped up with everything. Framers are now in the house tearing everything up to install some new windows and skylights. The house is 1920's vintage, and its really leaky and loud. We live one house away from a big freeway in LA, so you can guess that it gets noisy.
In the short time that has passed between updates, the garage is almost 95% done with framing. All of the OSB sheathing got put on, windows were cut out, blocking installed on the seams, and it feels like a garage for once!
Front of the garage with the big pile of scraps. I cringe seeing all of that wood I paid for, but my friends tell me it gets worse when I have to tile the bathroom and put hardwood down. Oh boy.
Looking out the new doorway and window.
My new backyard....or what's left of it. Its about 8 feet from garage to the new addition and then it wraps around a bit as you go right around the corner.
Here's the power pole located on my
neighbor's property line. If it was just 1 foot closer to my side, I'd have to have a 5 foot easment for it and thus a smaller garage. Sometimes it is worth hiring a local architect and a local surveyor who are familiar with zoning/building requirements. This pic shows the rear of the garage and the space I have to store my engine hoist and bulky things outside.
Her's the side door and window cutout. Picture is decieving, but the door is an 8 footer and the window is 64 inches off the floor.
Windows are due to arrive tommorrow and I just ordered up my metal, industrial door. Roll up garage door people still have to give me a quote, but it should be coming in soon.
I'm getting all anxious.....
