Day Five-ninety-one: big project, part 1

With our indoor projects on track and our outdoor work pretty much at maintenance level, we turned to a project that is both interior and exterior--overhauling the garage. Or as one friend called, "a transformation."

Let's step back in time first to see where this all started. A previous owner had turned the garage into quite the workshop, with scads of shelves, drawers, and cupboards. At the very least he worked with wood and metal but probably much else considering his puttering ways.

Some time ago (13 months to be exact) we took away all the old organization because of mold and because our plans to revamp the place didn't include them. So for a year we've been in this stage.

This week a crew removed all that OSB board, the old insulation, the lights, and the side door. The insulation alone produced these piles (yes, these are two separate piles).

We were pleased to find out that behind the walls didn't look as bad as we feared.
