Garage Farewell

The garage had to go. Cracked and sinking slab, no footing, frame walls underground, complete roof failure. It was all bad. I ended up only saving the siding since it was clear doug fir and is what kept the thing from falling down.
A layer of roll roofing over some old tar/asphalt over cedar shingles was the roof.

Almost every stud was spliced or sistered. Most had powder post beetle damage from being underground or from having the roof leak.


No gutters on the south side made all of the nails rust through, the siding fell off, and the wall framing started to rot away.




Now it is a distant memory...now to figure out what the city will let me build.
