The Trees Are Gone

The rest of the Ash trees came down yesterday after a couple of days off due to rain.  The scary one to be taken down was right by the RV.  There was only one direction the tree could fall where it would not damage anything and because they were pros it all went as planned.  The island of trees between the RV and the Crafty Collage are gone too.  Tim has taken some great pics to show the trees and the progress of removing them.

And a The Trees Came Down!

George decided to have all the Ash trees removed from the farm because of the Ash Beetle that the trees attracts.  The ash beetle, a borer, cans damaged and kills ash trees around the north and central USA since 2009 and worst damaged is expected through 2019.  Once the trees are infested they must be taken down and quarantined.  There were a few trees around the RV that was affected so on Monday the trees came down.

More Done On The Garage

It has been brought to my attention that I have an issue with my garage or my Chicago slang “GarGe” which I now kind of like but is not true.  My iPad, in which I write most of my blogs, has a mind of its own and I do not always re read my blog especially when I am in a hurry.  Since my mistake has been pointed out I will try to be more careful however I am now officially naming the new garage GarGe! They did make some great progress on the garage aka GarGe.  The rafters are up and the roof is going on.  Nice job on the progress of the GarGe!

The Garage Looks Like A Garage

I took last week off from the blog because I was on the TLC Tour.  A lot has happened with the garage in a week’s time.  All the sides of the garage is up, The insulation lining is up.  The rafters have been started and the garage looks like the a gareage.  It is pretty hot out so Tim and George work early and usually quit when the heat of the day begins.  It is looking good!

On Vacation

This blog is going on vacation while I am on the TLC Choir Tour.  We leave today for 8 Days so it will be difficult to keep up with the blog especially since I have no idea when we will have WiFi.  George and Tim did start putting up the walls on the garage.  It looks pretty good.  Way to go guys! I am sure there will be lots to report when I get back!

Wow, Progress Was Made!

With each day the garage just keeps getting better.  Tim and George finished getting all the flooring down on the second floor and now you can tell it is going to be a garage.   It was hot yesterday so they quit a bit early so that they could cool down and rest because a delivery of hay was coming for the neighbors and Tim & George are helping them move it and store it in their barns. That is a busy day!

And The Garage Keeps Growing

As each day passes the Francisco garage keeps making progress.  The weather has been cooperating with nicer temperatures to work in also.Tim and George have been working on it daily and have created an alley way between the garage and house.  It is really coming along.  The door in the picture was recycled from the air conditioning room that George originally built on the house.

The Garage Is Growing

There is now a side entry way to the garage and a place for Lisa to hang things.  It leads for their house’s front porch to the back of the garage.  Of course with the work that needs to be done on the garage the weather is cooperating but not at a very good temperature.  It is very warm in Tennessee but Tim will not complain because it is cooler than it was while he was in south Texas last week helping his parents move.  He said it was triple digits everyday.
