First there was dirt....


... then there was this. Construction is well underway for our new garage and "storage area." Bright and early the crew is there to make sure that we dont sleep in. I will be glad when the mess and Spanish polka is gone for good. In case youre not sure what youre looking at we are building a 3 car garage with a space up above for an apartment- someday. For right now- as far as the county is concerned- its just a massive storage area with sky lights, recessed lighting and sliding glass door.
To the left are picture of the stage that the house is in currently- a premered mess.The siding and roof have gone up. Windows and doors installed. Stairs... but no railings. The first picture is a view from the "street" The tan structure attached to the white structure is our house. Those beams between span a good 20 feet and are about a foot and a half thick. They make up the supports for the breezeway and carport. The second and third pictures show the rear of the structure, which is actually the entrance to the "storage area." Its hard to get a real good view because of the oak tree that hides the porch so well. There's enough room on the balcony to have a cute mid size cafe table. If we ever want to have coffee and reflect on our storage space..lol. Secretly, I am envisioning an office where I dont have to shush the kids when an important client phones in. (And a place to stay for the in laws- in between vacation homes- so they can visit more often)
