cleaned and ready for the next shop project...washing the walls...it's like spring cleaning in the fall...
Been working on my garage. Going to raise the ceiling in part of mine Christmas week. Throwing out allot of old stuff and making room also.
Got started early. Going after the panels after church tomorrow. All framed and mostly wired. Been a real hassle working over the cars. When done the compressor will be up in the rafters by the hose reel. I will have a heater. Lights will be where they need to be instead of just thrown up there. All my parts are down (and about). No painting as of yet.
Raised the head or front of the garage and made storage bunks out of the sides. I hope to make a second floor storage area out of the door end next summer maybe Fall. I still need to do some trim work and add the lights that I will be getting. Although the added space is only head room above, it seems allot bigger in the garage.
Pics are dark. Not very good. I'll get better ones soon. Here is one of the same wall on the outside. I need to move the fence line so that it is all a fence. The neighbor had a carport that the fence terminated into. She is gone to a senior home and the son took the car port. Time to claim our two feet before he sells and some new people move in and think the fence line now is where it should be. We are working from the neighbors yard in the pic.
About the width of that scaffold is where the property line is. I am waiting to see the neighbor's son again so I can make it clear about what I am going to do. He did see me locating the markers and asked if they matched our survey. I told him they did and he was supposed to find his to compare.. Been a month now.
Gene, Do you have st backs in your area? I would check with the local building department before going much farther.
Yes and I already checked. Grandfathered in. No permit needed for a fence either. The alley fence line was in question when I built it some almost ten years ago. At that time they tried to tell me to "just build it". I talked them into filling out a permit and paid $10. My reasoning was because one corner is up to 14 feet high. They allowed me a 10 foot fence on top of a 4 foot retainer in the one corner. I drew it all up to scale and show the property markers on the drawing. They came and looked and said I was good to go and gave me a signed permit. All is good. I recently went by the city office and asked if I could put a really tall building in the back corner of the property. He told me as long as I am in the yard and I don't cross the alley fence line with any part of it I should be ok. I went into detail with him about it needing to be tall enough to put a car lift in it and raising a vehicle in it.. He said just have a drawing and pay a permit fee.. Scott has been very nice to us for the 15 or so years we have known him
