Dana and Matt's Garage - The Story So Far

Dad is here and is very busy doing all kinds of fabulous things. Here is the start of the stairs. A miscalculation in the length of the run resulted in longer deeper stairs, which is more comfortable to walk on.
We wanted a four foot landing and decided to take it to the front end of the building. This gives a good view up and down the street and makes a little area to sit and watch the world go by.
Street side before anything was done. At the top of the picture you can see the attic door.
Back end before anything is done. The back wall will be two huge closets. Desk will eventually be by the window on the right where there is a view into the back yard.
Mostly finished stairs. They came out great. See little light dad installed outside the door.
Here's our little landing. It's about 12-13 feet long.
Quite a bit of wiring is done, lights installed, and insulation started.
Stapleheads. I am hoping Matt absorbs all this knowledge so I can really put him to work.
Dad's work table. There is another shelf at the window for sundries such as radio and cups.
Other tools of the trade hang on nails on the wall.
Is he really helping?
More rolls to go.
Here's the almost invisible door in the fence. You can see the hinges on the right side but the door is hard to see. There's no handle on the outside. Whether that will turn out to be practical is yet to be seen.
Puppies just want to have fun. Poor boy still has no yard to play in. He has to settle for walks around the block and an occasional play date with one of his puppy friends.
