Shop – Huron The Lake

Take-Out Kitchen

We’ve built a temporary kitchen off of the shop/garage so we can make meals easier. We have been eating in the trailer but with moving the fridge and racks out to the new room, we’re likely going to put our dining room table into the space we’re staying in the shop. Since the room isContinue reading “Take-Out Kitchen”

More Preparing for Concrete

Originally posted on 2021-07-11 Now we’re just waiting for the concrete guy to show up. We didn’t do a lot this week, except for the final stage of preparing the garage for the concrete guy. We put down insulation in the garage for two reasons. One: It raises it up a little and thus willContinue reading “More Preparing for Concrete”

Preparing for Concrete

Originally posted on 2021-07-05 More preparing for stuff. Sometimes it seems like all we do is prepare for things to happen. We are hoping the concrete guy will be here soon, and that means making sure everything is ready for him to go so there aren’t any hiccups. The main thing this included this weekContinue reading “Preparing for Concrete”

To Rent or Purchase Equipment

Originally posted on 2021-06-27 When doing a major project such as this one sometimes you need specialized equipment, and then you need to decide whether it’s better to purchase it or rent it. In our case we needed a tamper to flatten the garage floor so the concrete guys can come and put in aContinue reading “To Rent or Purchase Equipment”

We’ve Finished the Roof!!

Originally posted on 2021-05-09 Mostly. The wood is done, now we just need to cover it with the ice and water shield. Today feels like we finally finished the major project of moving the garage, even though in reality there is still much to do. The decking for the roof is finally completed, including allContinue reading “We’ve Finished the Roof!!”

Continuation of the Garage Roof

Originally posted on 2021-05-02 Still working on putting the roof back on the garage, but we made some good progress this weekend. Would’ve made a bit more, but Saturday was cut short due to snow and hail. Apparently, Mother Nature hasn’t got the memo that it’s spring. During the week we got a delivery ofContinue reading “Continuation of the Garage Roof”

Connecting Two Roofs

Originally posted on 2021-04-25 We were trying to finish building the roof of the garage this week, but again the weather didn’t cooperate. In February when we needed it to be cold to move the garage over the ice rink we had 10+ degree Celsius weather. Now that we need it warm it’s 0 degreesContinue reading “Connecting Two Roofs”

Putting the Roof Back On

Originally posted on 2021-04-18 Or at least starting to. This week we got the trusses back up on the garage in the new location. It was surprisingly easy with only two people, but I didn’t do most of it to be fair. Like always he did most of the lifting, and placing, and etc. IContinue reading “Putting the Roof Back On”

Moving The Garage

Originally posted on 2021-04-11 This week we saw a lot of progress as we got the walls of the garage moved to their new home. It also saw the weather get warm enough for the dog and the little one to venture into the lake. (Personally, I think they’re nuts.) Last week was full ofContinue reading “Moving The Garage”

Preparing to Move The Garage

Originally posted on 2021-04-05 Spring is upon us. The weather is fairly warm and the sun is now out longer. With the ice rink plan a no-go, we’re preparing to take apart the garage and move it to its new home in pieces. A couple of posts ago I talked about us removing the roofContinue reading “Preparing to Move The Garage”
