Originally posted on 2021-03-21 Continuing plan B for moving the garage. Spring is here after a basically non-existent winter. Last week we took the singles off the roof. This week we got those taken to the dump right away, cleaned up some rocks that were in our way, and took off the roof sheeting. NextContinue reading “Now Is Not The Time To Lose One’s Roof”

On To Plan B
Originally posted on 2021-03-14 After all that time and effort to make the ice rink, Mother Nature decided that was a no-go. Things were going well after waiting so long for it to be cold enough for a long enough period. The rink was built and we spent the last weekend in February moving theContinue reading “On To Plan B”
Water, Water, Everywhere
Originally posted on 2021-02-14 Building an ice rink of sorts to move the garage over to the shop is what’s on the agenda right now. As previously mentioned, in order to move the garage over to the shop we plan to flood the area between the two and push the garage over the ice. AfterContinue reading “Water, Water, Everywhere”
It’s Magic!
Originally posted on 2021-01-31 The bin and all its contents disappeared! Obviously, it’s not really magic and it didn’t actually just disappear as we were home when they came and picked it up. In fact, we were still tossing in some last-minute items when they arrived. The bin was mostly full, but we reached aContinue reading “It’s Magic!”

The Blog Time Forgot

So before we could put in the foundation I talked about last week, we had to get concrete in for the footings. Due to us being sick there was a long time between building the frame forContinue reading “The Blog Time Forgot”
Building a Solid Foundation
Originally posted on 2020-11-08 Hey everyone! Really sorry I missed doing a post last week. It slipped my mind, but I will go back and write about getting the concrete truck in and getting the concrete poured. For now though I want to talk about all we had going on this week, or at leastContinue reading “Building a Solid Foundation”
Preparing For Concrete
Originally posted on 2020-09-27 This week consisted of working more on the footings for moving the garage and testing some of our assumptions regarding the cost of concrete. This week consisted of making it so the fittings are level. Apparently, when I wrote last week they weren’t. We’ve also made it more sturdy and clearedContinue reading “Preparing For Concrete”
More Foundation Work
Originally posted on 2020-09-20 We continued working on the new foundation for the one-car garage we’re planning on moving. This week we’ve managed to finish digging the hole for the new foundation. Using the tractor (of course) every evening after work until dinner time we dug approximately 2.5 to 3 feet down to hit bedrock.Continue reading “More Foundation Work”
Digging a Foundation
Originally posted on 2020-09-13 Getting ready to move the single car garage and combine it with the workshop garage to expand the size of the workshop. Yes, that is the next part of our plan. The reason we had to move the driveway is because we want to build part of the house where theContinue reading “Digging a Foundation”
