GREAT BEGINNING


After a trip to Chicago - I returned home to
A GARAGE
I am so excited !! Don't have electricity in there yet so the opener doesn't work ...but I am thrilled. I have to use the back door for my only entrance right now and it has become increasingly depressing.....the garden tools were bad enough - but add shovels and car tires !!

Tires and shovels and rakes - Oh My!







There was freezing rain while I was away so everything is covered with a sheet of ice....very scary.











My back steps looking from the lower level


This is where recycles and trash pile up. When I had to have snow tires put on the car - this is where my regular tires had to go....there or under the Christmas Tree.










This is what greeted me upon entering...now you understand why I was so determined to get a garage






What a great project to have to start off the new year.










A Clean Slate
















I may even get to make it pretty....
imagine that .

  2. Way to go girl! I was bummed thinking that your Bentley would be spending the whole winter in the Snow.

    Keep up the good work. Barb will be there in person soon, I hope.

  7. You really must have a "Garage" party, garage band and all. Never underestimate a garage.
    New meaning to the "church" lady and her car that was only driven to church.
