Concrete Garages

Today I stumbled on a UK website that offers Concrete Sheds and Garages.

I have to admit that sitting here looking out my windows now, as I survey my own garage that is old and pretty much falling apart, that I wouldn't mind having one of these on my lot. In fact, I'd take both the garage and shed. They are made of concrete so the maintenance would be low. No painting, staining, or siding needed. All you would have to do is occasionally give them a power wash and they'd be good as new.

I currently have a two-story garage that I am often afraid to put things in because they are either harder to retrieve later or the layout just isn't conducive to what I want to use it for. And did I mention that it is close to falling apart? Sorry, I guess I did. I wouldn't be so worried if it were made of concrete and uPVC. One of the reasons why it is falling apart is that over time moisture has gotten in either through the roof that needs replaced or through the cracks in the wood siding that is ready to fall off. With materials that are weather resistant I wouldn't need to worry about how long it was going to last me.

Anyways, go on over to the website and check them out.

Tuesday's News

I feel beat.

Today I was able to get the last of the sheetrock hung for my project and I also began mudding. I am thankful to have a brother in law that knows how to do things better than I do and that he can show me how to do those things better.

Tomorrow- MORE MUD! Then I'll let it dry. Then I'll mud again. Then I'll sand it. Oy, big ventures.

Today's Progress

Since I typically have either too high of an expectation or a real lack of final output, I do have to say that I am satisfied with today's progress.

I now have all of the rough sheet rock hung in the bathroom. I got caught up initially trying to figure out how reframe around an unmovable pipe but I eventually figured it out.

So tomorrow I can finish hanging the sheetrock for the rest of the room that is off of the bathroom. I hope to have that done by mid afternoon. Then once that is done I can clear the room out of all the remainder of unneeded materials and junk that's in there and I can get to muddnig and taping.

Thank God for Internet Radio to help me through the insanity while I work.

This week

Today is Memorial Day and I'm taknig the whole week off of work. I started working on a home remodel project back in November that still has not been completed and I am tired of looking at this room in the shape that it is in.

I've torn all of the walls out, insulated, installed new windows, and I am now trying to get all of the rest of the sheetrock put back on the walls.

It is crunch time and I need to work like I'm getting paid.
