The House Project: A Little More Progress

You may be wondering if I go up there every day to see how it is going? Not really, but when Rhonda and I were there last night, the garage looked awfully small for something that is supposed to be four cars or two SUVs. So I drove up there to see if our eyes were playing tricks on us, or perhaps someone measured wrong when laying out the house.

Anyway, there's a pile of lumber up there, looking about as neat as my office.



You can see that there is a bit more done on the floor joists and the subflooring.



The garage really looks tiny, doesn't it?



But when I measure it, it matches the floor plan. Including the eight inch thick foundation walls, the garage is 28 feet long and 25 feet, two inches wide. In practice this means that we could fit the Corvette, the Malibu, and the Equinox in side by side, but there wouldn't be much room for the doors to open (a big issue for the Corvette's rather long doors). We may have to get a little creative to fit two of the cars in side by side, and the third car in the other end of the garage. (Perhaps we will end up with something where one car fits between the other two, rather like bricks.)

There will at least be enough room to have a decent workshop out there. Worst comes to worst, there's no shortage of land on which to put a large storage shed where we can keep the larger power tools.
