I think Bob is saying he has retired as counselor to the stars.

Garage is looking badass by the way.
Been in that situation before. Had a good friend who was also a home builder and GC that I worked for. He was married, had an affair with a married gal 20 yrs younger than him, and he got her pregnant.

I would literally after 30-45 min of nothing but listening, say bye Curtis, and just ride or drive off with him talking.

99% of our wounds are self inflicted. You see me on here most Fri and Sat nights. That never used to be the case....

Lot less drama in my life, and thanks for the shoulder.

That would be a lot of beard on your shoulder....

Debating on a Car Port next to the Garage, or fully enclosed
Bike stays in the Garage, this is for the Mustang, which has been outside since Purchased in 2016
Right now thinking just a Car port, already has tar
Easy enough to put a sloped roof over it, keep the crap off my car
Fully enclosed they would make me pour a concrete support
Just a Car port I can dig holes & put up beams

I'll have to look for that. Dark out now, it's in the back yard covered with a plastic sheet. Did you get another one? I remember you saying you were thinking about it. I've read the new ones have over 40hp!

I can't build out back, its wetlands & floods all the way back to the downed willow -mostly cut up & moved now
And I can't go any further to the right. my property line is just 8' or so to the right of that big tree
And it runs diagonally towards me, for even less room
I think I will do a Car port for now, and fully close it in later
Less requirements & restrictions, just priced rafters & plywood will be over $1100 Approx 15' x25'
I have some roofing shingles left over from when I re-roofed the house, will have to see if they have the same color

Biggest part of the drama in my life went away with the ex. Then when I retired, seemed like most of what was left retired, too. Been more contented the past 13 years (retired '09) than any other period in my life.
