A satisfying end to a long road

Post by Faulkner »

Last January, when the first mason fell off the planet and things looked really bleak, I wrote:
(*sigh*) I don't think I'm supposed to have this garage. Maybe I'll just chuck the rubble back in the trenches, and forget about it.
A lot has changed since then. The railing around the deck just went up yesterday -- and today I rolled out the 9x20 G Floor mat that came recommended by Dick Kock (thanks for the tip, Dick! Here's the info for the flooring, for anyone who's interested: https://59plymouth.net/59forum/view ... =4404#4404).

There will be painting to do when the pressure treated lumber dries out, I'll want to run power and lighting to the deck, a water line for Marie's plants, etc. But the job is largely complete -- here's some pix. All's well that ends well!

P.S. With a bit of luck, and if I can keep the old boy running -- Faulkner will come home next weekend, for radiator repair and a much-needed tuneup

Actually, Faulkner has other plans for Matthew 8) No, that white paint is UGL DryLok. We haven't had a good rain in a while, we'll see how it helps. Also, I flashed the wall to my neighbor's gutter on the other side -- that should help immensely.

...and after winning the judgement against the first contractor, his property is now going up for sheriff's sale. If I get anything out of him, I'll pay someone to stucco. And if I don't... at least I'll get satisfaction that he's sleeping on the floor :lol:

Dan,

My offer to do the stucco still stands. You will have to rent some tools though because my mixer won't get on the plane since it weighs more than 79 pounds :lol:
