It's finished!

Since the hubby is going to do the painting, and he's waiting for drier weather, as well as some free time, I'm going to post this before painting.  It will be the same white color as the house, so you should get a good idea.

Picture heavy, perhaps not suitable for dial up.

 9 April 2008, It's going to be electrified!

11 April 2008 - The magic device is installed!

  That's right, I pushed the button and watched it go up and down for several minutes!

13 April 2008, When I woke up, I saw the hubby out mowing the lawn and I went out to tell him I was up, and I saw this.

I went and inspected a little closer, and here is the picture I've been waiting patiently to post!

TaDa!!!!  My car is parked INSIDE the garage!!!!!

Now, just to cement my reputation as a bald eagle obsessed mad woman, here is a close up of my license plate.

I'm so giddy!  Of course there are a few little finishing touches which need to be completed, like the painting, but we have a proper GARAGE!!!

Aww, congratulations on finally being able to put the car away again! And I love your number plate - we aren't allowed pretty ones like that in this country, ours are plain and boring. Or I could have - oooh, let me see - a blackbird, maybe or a blue tit? A crow? LOL! Perhaps not. But a bald eagle, oh that's quite something!

Thanks, it is such a thrill! Yes, I'm easily amused. I've never lived anywhere with an automatic garage door, I think I'll be fiddling with it for a few days.

They have a variety of options for car plates these days, they are all the rage over here. They're more expensive than regular plates (Gary's car has a regular plate), but less expensive than personalized plates with something clever spelled out. They also have plates for specific colleges, the Seattle Mariner's (baseball), Orca whales, historic lighthouses, firemen and police ones as well. When we move back to Texas, I already have my optional plate picked out because they offer a plate for the Dallas Mavericks!!!
