I'm Expecting

to start work on a new garage in the next week or three
I will be moving my old 1954 single car garage back 36 feet and building a 28 Wide X 36 Long garage in front and attached to the old one - It will have a 9' Tall X 16' Wide door in the front with a thru connection tp the old garage

I figure by the time I have everything sorted out I may have room for a new Tack Hammer - I know it's sad but I have no will power - See junk will collect

There's a joke in there, but I'll keep it somewhat family oriented. (HINT: substitute the word "shop" for the OP's name).

Attaching the new garage to the old one is a great idea.
Good luck!

I'm renting a storage van for the STUFF in the old garage now - I'm hiring two of my contractors laborers to move the stuff from garage to the van - Then we have to move the back half of my tractor from in front of the garage and all the STUFF from the carport to somewhere and then there is the 10x14 shed behind the garage where I have not so good stuff + skunks to manipulate - Hummm - I may just check out the old WalMart bldg it gas the auto center and loading docks and I could use the old eye clinic as my living qtrs
Need to call the contractor again

Think I may need to invite you all over for a game of Corn Hole at the Grand Unvail
