The Garage of Dreams

No this is not Iowa, but if dreams were made of wood and not corn, here you would have it.

On the 26th of August, we started our endeavor and have since nearly completed the framing of what is undoubtedly the most impressive garage I have ever seen, and definitely my garage of dreams.

I say we because it has been a team effort. I would like to take this opportunity to sing the praises of my faithful crew. Firstly, Wayne and Richard have been invaluable in the process thus far. Both of these fine men have donated, freely and without being asked, more than a man-week to construction of the garage so far. They have been as dedicated to getting it done as I have and without them, I would just now be putting the floor on the second floor of a garage of inferior quality. Thanks to them I will probably make my Halloween deadline and will in turn have a garage of far better quality that I could have hoped for otherwise. I am indebted to them both.

My sweet wife Becca has also carried a load as I have been an absentee husband over the last few weeks as we have toiled on the project. Aside from that she has, without complaint, laundered some of the grungiest clothes that I have ever produced. Not to mention that depending on my school schedule I have sometimes dirtied more than one set in each day.
Along with keeping me in clean work clothes, she has kept me and my guys in good food and cold drink, and that has been as valuable to us as if she was outside swinging a hammer.

Also, to my Mom, you know what you do and I appreciate it immensely.

So to all, I write this as a very humbled and grateful man who is forever indebted to your service.

For those who would like to take a peek, here is the progress as of Sunday afternoon. We got a little further that day, and put up the last walls last night... getting close now.
