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!!!

I've got space for a garage, but my house is built on a two-way slope. The back garden slopes up from the house, and it also slopes from side to side. If I could get the slope sorted out I could have a garage. Unfortunately getting the slope levelled would cost a lot more money than I've got.

Sorting out that much slope sounds as if it might be more expensive than a garage. When they have to bring in big machines is when the cost really start escalating.

It's a bit of a pain, but on the other hand when the rest of the world is flooded our house is likely to escape because the water can run off in at least two directions at once. I'll have to see if a photo will show the problem.

Having good drainage away from the house when it is raining, is a very good thing.
