The Garage - The First Roll-In






Today represents the culmination of months of work and thousands of dollars. It was very gratifying to drive the Lemon and the Lime into the newly renovated garage!! Naturally, Herbie is still outside getting his patina.

Here's a list of the latest things done in the garage:
-all wiring complete
-wall insulation and vapour barrier
-outside pot lights installed
-aluminum soffit and fascia complete
-compressor located to final location and bolted down, self-draining valve installed
-wall braced and hose reel installed
-most items moved to close to their final location
-outer trim cut and routered from spruce 1x4, painted (thanks Vee), and installed

Here's a list of what's left to do:
-garage door jamb needs paint on a warm day
-garage door weather stripping needs to be purchased and installed
-trim needs to be caulked on a warm day
-ceiling needs to eventually be insulated (not this year)
-second workbench needs assembly
-both workbenches need levelling
