We are about to sign the paper work on our new (old) house. It is the
house up on the hill, with 3.4 acres. My new shop will still be the garage, but it is a 2.5 car garage vs. 1 car. Now to get this joint sold. Mark |

Now to get this joint sold. Mark Congrats on the new shop! An important milestone to the sanity of some of us is a place to go be alone with the sawdust on occasion. Looks like you will have a lot of work space, too. And just think of all the new tools you must have to do proper maintenance on an older home! I personally don't know how you can do routine house maintenance without a bandsaw, tablesaw, HVLP machine, a couple of lathes, a stationary sander, and on an on. Hope the SO understands that! ;^) Robert |

Therefore, my shop, which started out in the dedicated space behind the garage, has grown to take over the entire garage as well. Not that I'm complaining, of course. |

Model T might fit or a Mini Cooper? I got my car inside once, just to see if I could do it, it made it with about an inch to spare on each side but the garage is too shallow to close the door again without hitting the rear bumper and at that point, you're trapped in the garage with your car unless you climb over the car. It was originally intended for horses and the like, it even has the old openings in front of it for heating oil and presumably there's still a tank underneath somewhere. |

Mowing the lawn I am sure will stay my responsibility along with getting the trash to the curb, ect ect ect. But the vegetable and herb gardens are mine. Mark (sixoneeight) = 618 |
