FINALLY, THE GARAGE IS DONE


Our estimate of 2 days was right and the garage was finished on June 7.  We were waiting for the gutters to be installed and the insulation to be blown into the attic.  Here’s what that looked like:

Day 31  Gutters (portable machine that makes the gutters)







Day 32  Attic insulation











While we were waiting for the subcontractors, Stuart installed a garage door opener and we continued with painting the colour coat in the garage and that took us a couple of days.  I also painted the trim around the doors and windows so we had our fill of painting.  Results as follows:













It was so nice to be able to park both vehicles in the garage.  The truck takes up a lot of room and Stuart built a brace in front of the wheels so that we could park it very close to the back wall.  I call it a “truck stop”—here’s what it looks like.




The day after the work was completed, we stopped in at the building inspection office to let them know that it was ready for the final inspection.  They said okay and that they’d be there in an hour to do the inspection.  Amazing service again!  The project passed inspection and we’re all done except for paying out the contractor.













Now there is more time for other fun projects.

Living Large Defined

After retiring from the BC Forest Service, selling their home in Kamloops and living at "no fixed address" for 10 months, Linda and Stuart bought a house in Grand Forks. They are now embracing life in this small community as well as Snowbirding south for the winter and are living "larger" than their dreams. This is Linda's blog of their adventures.
