Step one... check!

Okay. Phase One of my project has been completed.

Jean and I went out a couple of Sundays ago, looking for a two-car garage.
We looked at quite a few, and decided that the very first one we saw was a
pretty good fit.

We went out again this past Sunday to a bunch more two-car garage Open
Houses, and still found that the very first one we'd seen was the best. So
we went back for another look-see.

The house and grounds that come with the two-car garage are in excellent
shape, and a far cry from the twin that we've been crowding into since 1984.

Now, I know "the look" Jean gets when she absolutely has to have something.
It's the same look that I had back in 1993 when I first saw TFrog. It's the
look that says, "I'm getting this, so get the hell out of the way."

Within 48 hours, we were pre-approved for a new mortgage, had contacted a
real estate agent about selling our home, and had made an offer on the new
house (which has been accepted).

If all goes well, I'll be putting up shelves in my new garage by mid-April
(earlier, if we can rush things along).

It is a fully-functional two-car garage, not a pretend two-car garage. It
doesn't have running water and drains (far as I can tell), but at least I
can wash the car and then pull it inside for a leisurely polish and wax.

TFrog's going to be so happy.

West Goshen. The house backs up to a reservoir! I got my trees, but I didn't
get the burbling brook I wanted. The reservoir will have to do.

I thought the picture I saw of your Exploder was in front of a
two car garage? Don't you need one that will hold more than two anyway??

Thanks, but me, too. West Chester is like the hub of a spoke wheel when I go
out cruising. From there, you can head in almost any direction and find
great roads. So, now I'll live in the "hub".

Nah. That was out back of our twin. One side was actually a garage at one
time, but the previous owner had turned it into a storage room (it was also
where I garaged my motorcycle, when I had one). The other side is the
laundry room. We have room to park two vehicles, but that's about it.

The new place has a nice long driveway, leading up to the garage, with
plenty of room to maneuver when I want to switch cars. For the time being,
it'll still be the Escape, the two '93s, and my daughter's car (she'll be
coming along with us). And that's step one.

Step two is putting a new convertible in that garage, but that'll wait until
after we're settled in.

Hey, Stranger.

No water?! No drains?! That isn't a real garage! Geeze, next you'll
be telling us it doesn't have a lift or tiled floor either. Frog,
these things are essentials! Please explain that to Jean. j/k

Wish you the best with your home purchase!

And I thought you were spending all your time in a football NG...

And reversal of that will be like, step 3 or 4? ROFL!

Does a slant that makes water run out of the doors count as a drain??
:-p
