Good grief, I can't seem to get anyone to come out and give me an estimate! GRRRRRRRRR I don't know if everybody thinks it's not worth their time or what. I had ordered a carport online and went to get a builders permit before they came to put it up. Well lo and behold my area is now deemed historic and I can't have an aluminum carport. It has to be wooden support posts and the roof has to mimic my roof line. Another grrrrrrrr as no one but the garbage men and me will see this carport. Ok, ok I'll go with that as I have to but getting someone to give me an estimate is like pulling teeth. |

Ok, ok I'll go with that as I have to but >getting someone to give me an estimate is like pulling teeth. I can understand your frustratiuon. I've been trying to get someone to build a carport for my tractor but they never show up, and it's been over a year. So meanwhile what I do is to tie a large tarp over the tractor when it's not in use. I'd only like the carport because sometimes there are warnings of hail. I'd park the tractor in my barn only it's a long walk and if there's heavy snow even if I got out there I'd be lucky to drive it back to the house. It's not easy to get people to do work nowadays. Most times it's better to do it yourself or find an alternative such as the tarp. |

There are more pics there , most are from the initial (diggin' and cellar build) phase of the kitchen and the beginnings of the living room . I need to get some shots of the "period bathroom" , you'd like the 1911 clawfoot tub and the antique washstand that we turned into a vanity - and both drawers still function . -- Snag Yes , I'm old and crochety .

There are a couple houses I see regularly that have been in a constant state of change for at least 40 years. A friend of my brother's grew up in one of them. The people who bought it from his parents have been working in it for all these years and it gradually improved. The other one has had major renovations but no improvement. It just gets bigger and uglier all the time. |

They are not easy to assemble. When my brother moved into a house near us there was a metal shed. He was planning to have a pool installed and wanted to get rid of the shed. He said I could have it. I disassembled it there and it became clear that I was not going to get it back together again. When the time came to build a she I opted for a kit that included the lumber, siding, shingles and garage style door and assembled it myself. Thank goodness it backs onto a row of cedar trees so people can't see how badly I managed with the siding and fascia there. |

When my Ex and I lived in a 12x65ft mobile home in the woods in the 1980s I did all sorts of work like that! I actually rented a small flatbed truck to haul the existing metal shed I had at the mobile home park that asked me to move because I worked on my old aircooled VWs too much! I was young and strong then! No MS either. Now I'm getting old and have MS, etc. so...competent Subcontractors are a blessing! John Kuthe... |
