If you build it...
….it will come!
I moved into my new house with my wife about 3 years ago and one of the items that really bothered me about the house was the garage. Being a car guy, the pitted floor and unfinished walls were really uninspiring to me and it was something that I wanted to change. With that being said, there were more important issues to address and we took our time getting our home the way that we wanted it to be. This year, I decided to finish the garage as seen below. This was my first experience with drywall (maybe the last) and while things aren’t perfect, I love it
Progress Pictures Before --> Finshed
As finished as it looked, it was still missing one thing! It had been about 7 years since I sold my C5 and every day since then I have missed it and tried whatever I could do to get another vette. Finally, I managed to figure out how to get another one in my garage and am pretty excited to have one once again. Had to drive 11 hours in each direction to get it, but it was a great deal so that’s what I did.

Happy to back where I belong
