Also, as some may have noticed in some of the 50's photos, the garage was a OK Tire Shop. We were in the back of the garage and just happened to look up and noticed a piece of flat metal nailed up in the rafters.

Got a little closer and saw this:


It is an original sign which is in really good shape. Lucky find I guess....

Spent a little time over the weekend back at the garage... had to firm up and build out one section so it can be ready to be finished next spring.


Looking out of the wall we tore down (some familiar faces are parked across the street).



Outside looking at the building



Framed up not only to be structural - but functional.



Then all buttoned back up waiting for round 2. (Looks like we didn't do anything!!)

We spent the next day measuring (and measuring and measuring) up areas which will be part of next years project....
