Our garage would have been finished already, but the some of the sheet metal the builders received was the wrong length. I wouldn't be surprised to see it done today. Next week, good Lord willing, we'll have the concrete floor in it. Cliff intends to have a concrete pad in front of it where he can wash vehicles, since the water is softened back here.
Someone commented that our garage looks like a barn: well, it is a pole-barn type building. Cliff had it made extra tall so that if he needed to pull some of his farm equipment in there in a pinch, it would fit... although he only plans to park our car and the motorcycle there. He also decided to place it with the widest part facing the front, which leaves quite a bit of storage space on the right-hand side. That is going to be MY storage space, where I'll store things like Christmas decorations. Cliff has plenty of storage for all his goodies, and he's decided I need some of my own. I think that's a pretty good idea.
The added-on back room is 8X10, and I'll be storing some seldom-used household items on shelving in there. But it'll be nice to have another spot where I can put outdoor-type stuff, as well.
I simply must use some restraint, though, and not turn all my spaces into another "junk room" full of stuff I never use like I had over at the old house.

Hello there!
I kept a journal on AOL for over four years. AOL decided to get rid of journals, so I transferred my memories from there to Blogspot. I don't intend to add to this site, except perhaps to add some pictures that were lost in the transfer; I'm keeping it for the memories: memories of babysitting my granddaughters; of my long-gone dog, Mandy; of nights spent at the cabin; of vacations and motorcycles bought and sold.
Thanks, Blogspot, for helping me save my memories.

I know you will be glad to have it all done and everything in its place once more.
Have a great holiday weekend ! 'On Ya' - ma
The restraint part is hard. LOL ...
Your Cliff is a real gem! All of this organization is probably making you a happy camper. I know that my illness has caused me to LOOK at things differently. I don't have time for all the junk I did before. I wake up every morning thinking...what can I throw away today? It's a good thing!
Wow things are really happening over there. That garage is going to be very nice.
Glad you will have some extra storage too.
I Am amazed how fast you have gotten everything built. I hope you will be very happy there. It looks very nice.
Restraint, LMAO!
