If you knew us when we had the old house, you know that there was a point in time when Rod had a 2 car garage with workshop and a 2 car garage in the basement. That is a lot of square footage for his junk. When building the house we just couldn't swing the cost of the garage. Last year we were going to build it and the day that we were given the quote... as soon as the guy left.... that is when Rod started working on replacing the culvert in the driveway. We all know how that turned out (if you don't, read the culvert blog posts and you can see the damage). So obviously last year our money saved for the garage went elsewhere - mostly down stream.
One year later we have saved up enough again and they are building the garage. We bought a metal style building with a concrete floor. It is 30X40 with two garage bays and one people door for the workshop area. The installation was from the Mennonites. It was really amazing watching them work. The used minimal machinery and did all the really hard, heavy lifting with manpower alone. It was crazy watching them put the roof on without any harnesses and climbing all up the trusses.
To say Rod is excited is an understatement! I am so glad he finally has some space of his own again. What a nice anniversary present since the day the finished we celebrated 18 years of marriage
