We got the permit to build our detached garage yesterday! Yay!

We’re planning to have excavating and the foundation completed in September (they’re starting Tuesday!).

Here’s the brush that needs to be cleared and leveled:

The garage will go directly across from the attached garage we have now.

Here is a really crappy rendering of what it will look like! We plan to have brick wrapped around the front corners that face our existing garage, and siding above the garage door (and siding along the rest of it).

Yay!


This is totally unrelated but bizarre so I had to share. I took a virtual training class in July and haven’t gotten my training certificate yet to enter for continuing education. So I logged in to our training system and saw it had me listed as a “no show.”

I was DEFINITELY in that class. I even have proof (see below). So I talked with support and they put a ticket in for me. They asked me if I remembered the instructor’s name. I didn’t off hand BUT I had taken a photo of my computer in class, during the part where we were supposed to test out the virtual whiteboard by writing our names, and the instructor had written his first name there, yay (which I’ve blurred out below, but searched my inbox and found his full name).

Now, why did I take this picture?! Because someone used that opportunity to test out their artistic skills. Sigh.

So yeah, I was in that class.
