Yeah, that’s my garage in Beacon. It’s a leaky, drafty old structure that is totally falling to pieces. And this is my storage and work space. But it’s kind of cute, isn’t it? And how do you like my white trash pile out front? That’s a sink vanity under the sheet and those are boxes of concrete tile. I have everything but the kitchen sink spilling out of that garage. Oh, wait….

The goal is to eventually tear this down (and reuse all wood, of course!) and build something….functional. But for now, she’s all I’ve got. No heat. Not a pleasant work environment. Don’t you feel sorry for me?

We were going to waterproof and insulate it on Sunday. But we stood there looking at it for a half hour and decided that it would be too much work for something that will come down in the spring. (Ha! Spring 2012 maybe!)

The other options were the dining room or the basement. We opted for the basement. The dark, damp basement. We’ll still have to organize and throw a tarp over the roof of the garage so we can use it for storage, but we can put that off for another few months.

Until the spring. When it will be pleasant to work out there again.
