This summer we built a garage...finally. It really started last March when Norm and I went to a wedding in Laguna Beach. When we arrived at the airport and went to pick up the rental car, a silver Mini Cooper sat there in the lot, just calling my name. Of course, we had reserved the standard Ford Escort or whatever generic car was the least expensive. But when I saw the Mini, I just had to drive it.
We tooled around Cali for a weekend, hardly using any gas, and it was the best! So this past June, I sold my Jeep Cherokee and bought a Mini Cooper S. It goes from 0-60 faster than a Corvette and I love it! But I needed a garage to house it in, so the impetus to build was overpowering and thus the process began. We ran radiant floor heat, but haven't hooked it up yet. Maybe this year...
You'll notice that I am not in any of the pictures as I was the photographer, but rest assured knowing that I put my sweat equity into this project! Some of our friends and neighbors were helpful and special thanks goes to Larry, Dave, Jeff, Peg, Leo, Mark, Mike, and Uncle Danny. Turn up the volume and enjoy the slideshow! ~S
