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.
OMG the infamous dick pic really saved the day. Thank God for that idiot!!!
Can’t wait to see the garage come to be!!!
IKR?! And the instructor never said anything about it!
Me too! It will be so nice to have it!
Lolololololololololololol amazing. You are such a talented artist!!! 😛
Also, very exciting about the garage! I can’t wait to hear about it – you know I love your house updates!
Sigh. Weren’t they though?
Yes! My husband and I both love your comments so thank you for your enthusiasm!!!
::shakes head:: I just never think to draw a dick pic – what is wrong with me?! LOL
Yay for the garage permit and beginnings!! I’m sure you’ve said, but why are you guys wanting another garage? If it were us, Jeff would have a four car garage so he could have room for all of his projects and workbench…but we’ll have to save that fantasy for our next house. 😉
Maybe now you will!!!! Ha.
I hope Jeff gets his ultra garage some day!!!! Right now, we have an attached two car garage that’s horribly cramped. My car sits in it, and all of our yard equipment, building supplies (we have a huge rack that holds that all and takes up the space of a car), and other garage-y things. We want another garage so we can use our attached garage for our two cars, then use the new one for storage of all the equipment and supplies, Steven’s Datsun (which we have in off-site storage), and for area for a workshop. Steven loves to build things, and has to do it in the driveway now (or move my car out to the driveway in colder months).
Down the road (like 20-30 years?! LOL) we’d love to have another building with a huge workshop and a guest house on top!
So weird they had you as a no-show when you were logged in – thank goodness you took that screen shot!
Hooray for the garage!
Right? And I am so glad I looked in to it now. Sometimes it takes forever to get our certificates so I thought it was just that!
I can’t admit how long I laughed at the dick pick, lololol. I’m v mature.
Yay for the permit! What are you going to use the detached garage for? Or are you going to turn your current attached garage for something else and the detached garage for… garage-like things? Lol, can you tell that I’m not a homeowner?!?! Much renter. Very apartment.
Ha! I am glad it made you laugh!!!!
LOL! The detached garage will have the Datsun, the lawn equipment, storage, and space for a workshop, and then our attached garage will have both our cars (right now it can only hold one with the lawn equipment and storage; the Datsun isn’t even here right now). Steven loves to work on projects and he’ll finally have space to now!
