and by 1 pm Sunday, it looked like this:
There's a small bathroom, connections for the washer and dryer and lots of windows. The windows are not just to let light into the garage. I also wanted to break up the space on the west wall so there wouldn't be a big blank wall sort of looming over the back yard.
If you remember pictures of the old garage, it was actually just a shed. I couldn't even get a car into it - it was too shallow from front to back. A VW would have fit, but my minivan - not a large vehicle - stuck out the door when the front bumper was against the back wall. It had no electricity - well, it sort of had electricity, but it was an accident waiting to happen, pulling power from an extension cord run to the back porch.
This garage will have outlets everywhere. All my battery chargers, rechargeable power tools and other similar stuff will go out here, freeing up outlets in the house for appliances. With the washer and dryer out here, I'll be able to use the back porch as a porch again, instead of using it as a cramped utility room.
