Death of a Garage

I am pleased to report the death of my garage. It’s been a dilapidated eyesore since we moved here 7 years ago. My contractor Niaz pulled it down yesterday with his truck – turn up the volume and watch the video! He’s also going to tear out most of the driveway. The garage was in the middle of the backyard, so the driveway cut through the middle of the yard. We always park on the end of the driveway near the street anyway, especially in the winter (as it’s enough to shovel just that much when it snows). So when he’s done, I’ll plant some grass where the driveway was, and we’ll have a much nicer yard.

We’ll keep the slab the garage was on. We’ll put a shed on it, and it’ll be a place to stack firewood (we burned through 4 cords last winter).

He’s also going to cut down the tree in our front yard, replace the sidewalk blocks that were torn up by its roots, and put a new silver coat on the flat part of our roof.
