Default Re: Maybe a new home. 9 car gagage plus workshop.

Thanks for all the props. We are working like crazy getting our place picture perfect.
Sherri is amazing. She is the only helper I have ever had, male or female, that can keep up with me for a whole day doing manual labor. For the first time since before she donated a kidney to Zack, we are both healthy enough to put in a full day's labor. Because of my day job, the manual labor stuff is my therapy. We did a room addition 4 years ago and terraced the back yard into 3 levels, installing 400 ft of retaining walls. Because of the terracing, we didn't bother putting fence back up. But... we are not up to code, so are having to get creative with the fencing, and will be working on that this weekend.

The brick is her favorite part; that and the old wood floors. Place was built in 1893, and best we can tell there is no framing. There is a huge double threaded rod with a turnbuckle going through each end to stabilize the side walls. The building is 103 x 33. Those brick walls are 15 inches thick up to about 12 feet high, and then 14 inches thick above that.
