Storage unit acquired.

Part of the construction project will require installing sheetrock in our existing garage. This is a fire code issue, I believe, and is done to give more time for the residents to escape should a fire start in the garage. Sheetrock burns more slowly than open 2"x4" construction.

Currently, the garage is a mess. Well, before yesterday it was. Woodworking tools (lathe, table saw, radial arm saw), gardening equipment, bikes, etc. filling it up. It's less of a mess now.

In order for the sheetrock to go up, the workers will have to have someplace to move while doing it so the garage has to be emptier.

Kim rented a large storage unit for the next 4 months on Friday. We spent a good portion of Sunday filling it and emptying the garage.

We made 3 or 4 trips with the truck over to the unit and barely made a dent in the amount of space we have available. We did clean out a good portion of the garage. The main items we have left are the stained glass work table, the lumber, and the miscellaneous tools. We should have plenty of space left in the unit when the garage is empty.

We found the skeleton of a rat as we were cleaning out the garage. Apparently, the garage was messy enough to kill a rodent.
