The Garage

I have waited for 24 years to save our garage. According to John the Carpenter, it is a good thing we didn't wait any longer.

What an amazing job he did today. He shored up the side walls and then cut the wall studs about 12 inches above the floor to allow room for a course of cement blocks and a double sill plate.

John knocking the studs loose after he cut them.



While Reed his helper pushed the wall in to straighten it, John braced it in place.



This is not what a sill should look like.




John decided to add the two 2x4s after he eyed the garage for a while. Here's hoping that there are no high winds until the walls get reattached.
