New Garage finished



The Winter weeds are removed and roots killed.



The leaves are coming along nicely.  The extra storage room is still full of boxes!
We've been looking for a comfortable patio set, but just the "right one" hasn't come along yet.

The garage is finished!  As it get's used, there will be some changes in storage and tools to make it more user friendly.  I think it will work out well.

Still have several boxes of things like this, but I just put up a few for some color.  I'll probably be changing them around with others as time goes by.  Thankfully, we have a fairly large storage room here, as well as the one we rent for the RV which is still full of boxes

Air compressor and grinder corner.  Vice on the work bench will get a lot of use.

The bike lift works perfect.  I had the Harley up in the air yesterday checking out how hard it will be to change out the exhaust system.  It's too loud :-) Ordered some new quieter pipes, but they are on back order until mid-May.

Plenty of room for the 2 bikes.  The Burgman is still in Yuma, it will fit nicely too.

Wide angle of mostly one wall.

This is the Lubrication corner.  Store oil, filters and other lubricants here.

It's 24 x 24 feet square.  I'd have REALLY liked to make it larger, but due to city regulations, this was as big as I could go in our back yard.

Put up 40 motorcycle license plates here and around the top of the walls.  Still have a few more, and a bunch of car plates to put up.  All from bikes and cars we've owned.

Time, Barometer and Thermometer.  And, lots of nuts and bolts

Two mischievous young vroc ladies put this "gator" on my bike seat in Maggie Valley back in 2005.  They got a giggle when I jumped. :-)

Few mementos

Outside entry door.

Joined this Health Club on April 16th.  Nice pool with Aquasize classes, body toning classes, and lots of machines and other equipment.  Been there 4 times already, it will be good for me!

It's looking good Sherm. So how is AZ treating you? I will be moving down there in a couple months to the Scottsdale area. My wife got a position with her company down there.

The garage looks great and the bikes look like they are at home. All you need is a bed, microwave and fridge and it would be perfect...May be AC too? :)
