GARAGE 101

I haven't slept in days.........I am out of my element building a garage and the weather adds major concerns. Do I need a curb? some say yes - some say no ...windows, no windows, what if it snows..........on and on....
The first trucks arrived at 6:15

The ground had been covered with insulated blankets since last week.

The bobcat tore out all the existing asphalt and then the loads of gravel arrived

The cement truck arrived shortly after sunrise

I went with "no curb" and hope I won't regret it

AHHH......

breakfast of champions

This is a huge project - your interest in St. Marys keeps me energized and I love hearing from you

The Project

I saved the church and the church saved me. This wonderful renovation project began in August '06 with an attempted act of terrorism. I was to return to So. California from Wisconsin on the day that crazed people with explosives in their shampoo bottles were busted in London and the whole world stood still. I took the option of re-booking my flight a week later and set out to find an interesting place to make my new home. I drove to the country to see a lovely Victorian farmhouse and passed an old church with a simple "For Sale" sign - and the rest is history. Actually, it wasn't all that simple. My offer was accepted in September the same week I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Everyone insisted I cancel the offer....I was too sick - there was too much to do - the job was too big - I had to stay in California - blahblahblah. I told them it would give me something else to think about - a reason to get up every morning - it would save my life.

And it did.
