The Garage Project

 

Episode 2

I don't feel like being witty today, so this is going to be a pithy, straightforward entry. Sorry folks. I know I've really set the bar high on previous posts...

Construction (or deconstruction) has officially begun. We got a storage unit. We emptied our garage. Salvation Army is coming on Wednesday to pick up the rest of the stuff.

As you can see in the photos, the concrete driveway has been partially removed to make way for the pipes that will extend the sewer line into the garage, allowing us to put a bathroom in the new space. You can also see our project manager, Olive, sitting proudly next to her work. She's a very good digger, but did express a mild amount of disappointment that there were no badgers burrowing underground.


Also, we have ordered glass mosaic tile for the tub surround (pictured below, left) as well as bamboo flooring that will extend from the office area into the bathroom (pictured below, right). At some point (when I am feeling more energetic, and hopefully more jocular too) I will elaborate on the subject of where to find the best materials for the least amount of money. But, alas, today is not that day.
