The Garage

When last we left you, dear readers, we had bought some property that needed a lot of TLC.  We are now in the process of building a garage with an apartment over the top of it.  Our builder is fast with a hammer and a saw!

The trusses have arrived.  The guy operating the boom did a great job, especially considering there is an electrical wire close to the garage.

The view out the dormer windows.

Most of the windows are in.

A nice little half wall my  husband built so we don't fall down the stairs.

The roof and the siding should be going up this coming week.  Plus the garage doors, door and porch posts.

Steve and I got the bright idea to buy some property.  Oh, my!  What were we thinking?  We bought 16 acres in New Florence next door to my cousin.  The property came with a house!  We promptly tore it down!

It also came with a shed.  Some of it was laying on the ground.

Steve finished tearing up the sub floor.

We got electric!  Yeah!!!

Steve got a new toy.  He is thoroughly enjoying it.

We have a pond that we drained.  It  needs to be re dug due to silt and we want to make it wider.  Each of the grandkids took a turn using the excavator.  Here is Michael, Jr.

Bye bye pond water.

This is a small portion of the garbage that the previous owners left us and what we have so far pulled out of the fields.

We rented a dumpster and filled it with all of the garbage piling up.
