Well, almost everything is complete. The fence installer finished his work on the wrought iron gates last Friday. They turned out great. Each gate is about 8'-6". The smaller gate on the right side is 6'-0" wide for the riding lawnmower. The last things to be finished up are the knee braces, the gable end and replace two 19' long base rails on each side that had unacceptable welds. Overall I'm very happy with how this all came together.
The wife and I are noodling around ideas for which benches, tool boxes and shelves will go into the storage unit. The plan also includes two 4'x8' sheets of pegboard to organize all the items that can be hung from hooks. My lathe and mill get to stay in the garage! That will make powering them up much easier and protect them from moisture much better.
We're expecting rain every day this week and the torsion spring on the big garage door broke last week. The new springs should be here today. Long story short it will be at least another week before the carport storage unit is organized. More pics to follow as we make progress.
