Over here day dreaming. This is what I envision for a garage in the back yard. The yellow lines are where I'm thinking the garage door would be good. The red X is where the gate is currently, and I'd like to move it up where the blue line is. Then I can keep all of my projects back there. Some day I hope to make 'er mine, LOL.

Some spaces like this that adjunct a yard, horizontal door that folds down and hinges to a stop when level. To act as a serving table, or further by means we a.chain and hooks. This makes like a kitchen that's half open to a dining (BBQ) area. Imagineer the rest. An additional garage-people door is suggested to the yard, as is a simple hand sink for partiers w/o house or garage entry.

A man door will definitely be on there.... maybe even two.Getting sewer and water back there isn't exactly gonna be easy. I was talking to a friend at work about his garage. He did a 10 foot pad on the side, and covered it. That said, however.... I already have a decent sized patio that can get covered and serve the same special purpose.

Yeah. Right.


... And I don't think it's done dropping yet.

EDIT: I was right.

About an hour later...

I thought you guys liked the cold, that's why y'all are in Michigan, Colorado, Utah, Etc.
Why you send it this way? Please keep it there.

Gonna need to keep the firewood dry and make sure we got plenty for the next couple weeks.



Unusually cold coming. Must be another one of those polar vortexes.
Instructions?

I've heard where some places have laws that even though the sidewalk in front of ones house is public land, places put in laws that make the closest homeowner responsible for clearing it. Is that true?

If your neighbor blew all their snow into your driveway (like in the Goofy Christmas movie) what recourse does one have? What would a jury uphold?
No sidewalks here during the winter.

But you usually push the snow across the road....you know, to the other side. Then sit in your garage with a beer watching all the Darrels bobble their phone after crashing into your monster wind rows you left out there when they drive by.... yea, never forget to wave, it's free entertainment.

Also, the folks who throw grass chives and snow in the roads throughout the year always seem to have a new mail box every other month. Not sure what's up with that....

Yall are in for some cold weather by the look of those forecasts. I won't even see sub 20* until next weekend. I have to figure out what to do with the remaining seeding in the refrigerator van. If I lose 100k seedlings I'm going to be pissed.

Last night was supposed to be the "possibility" for negative temps. We didn't even get into single digits. We are expecting another decent round of snow between now and early Monday morning, however. I am tired of moving this crap, lol.

I'd much rather deal with the cold than the hot and muggy crap. You can always put on more clothes when it's cold but you can only take so much off when it's hot.

Muggy.... yeah, that's some misery. Luckily Utah has a dry heat. As far as living in Utah, it's kind of hard to beat UT for the season experience, and plethora of nature we have. We have desert. We have mountains. We have large bodies of water. Canyons.... Moab. Skiing, wheeling, fishing, hunting, racing, hell... about anything you'd want - but an NFL team. LOL.

That's fine though, I've been a Broncos fan since 1986, so that's a really hard switch that I'm not willing to entertain.
