GARAGE PROJECT COMES TO LIFE

When we first decided to purchase a second vehicle, we started making plans to have the carport extended into a 2 bay garage attached to the house.  We made contacts with contractors in Grand Forks before we left Yuma and had a reasonable estimate from the one company.  So shortly after we returned home, we met with the contractor, made the deal and the project started last Thursday.

The best way to share the project with you is with photos from each work day.

Day 1  Siding removed and existing concrete floor cut

Day 2  Jackhammer the concrete to be removed

Day 3  Shore up the existing carport, remove the posts, remove sod and dig the trenches for the footings

Day 4  Build the footings forms, get an inspection (only had to wait an hour or so—love our small town), pour the concrete footings

Day 5  Build the foundation forms

And tomorrow is Day 6 when they will be pouring the foundation concrete.  Stay tuned.
