I have a small barn in good shape, but in front of that is a 2 car carport (just a garage with no doors) and a workshop. Same thing- no foundation, rotting wood, swimming pool floor last week when the snow melted. Luckily it’s solid enough so it’s not going anywhere for a while. I’d love to knock that ugly thing down and replace it with a nice 3-bay garage with proper floors and protection from the weather. If I could get it done for 13K I’d be doing it this year LOL! ---

If anyone is interested in this let me know i can see if he can be able to work out a deal for all of us who are looking to gettting a garage done. ---

Looks nice so far… Is that fence on your property? I have a hard time believeing the town allowed anyone to build a house 6" from the property line. I might look into mudjacking then replace the sill with some cynder blocks. ( I have been saying that for 3 years now ☹ ) ---

My neighbors house is 1’ away at one end, and like 6" into my property on the other. Back in the 40s/50s the surveying wasn’t as accurate and people didn’t pay attention as much. ---

Back in the 40s/50s the surveying wasn’t as accurate and people didn’t pay attention as much. Fence is not on my property but was ok by my neighbor. so that was it. all the garage next to me is on the property line ---
