Garage renovations

[Crawdad]

Medwards, yes it is a springer, his name was AJ. I got him in 1996 and I had to put him down two years ago:crying:. Like you it was a very difficult thing to do. I got him for one thing and that was to retrieve birds, but the first shot he went underneath my bronco and never came out! AJ was not a car freindly pooch either, he threw up almost every time! But none the less he was a very friendly and protective springer. A bit hard headed at times but well mannered, AND very good around young ones. I would get another springer in a skinny minute! When I got married last year my wife already had a dog. If you really want to call it a dog, its a Shitzu (sp). I call it a cat cratchhe: b/c all it does is sleep in my house all day long and runs from guests. One of these days I plan to get a man's dog! My wife likes the Brittany Spaniels so we are seeing whats out there.

SC74, I hope it does add value to my home. It should have room for a small boat to be covered on the left side once I remove the garage door. The attic area was the big thing for me. I was able to build a 4'x6' access door so I can store things such as router table, furniture, long pieces of wood, bronco parts, etc. I have a hoist to lift heavy items for that door as well. I plan to have access from inside my garage to the attic as well thru aan attic door (if I can find a 10' one). I plan to remove some of the old roof today so I can build up more walls. By the time I'm finished my wife will sell "our" house. Then I will be in ur shoes! :banghead:
