the garage
Below: the garage's back wall was frequently getting graffiti'd, so, after patching it, I painted it. This has effectively discouraged graffiti. I put off repairing the sagging roof as long as I could. In 2008, I fixed it finally, replacing two joists, then having the roof recovered with rubber.

The garage is very large, easily holding two cars. It was built between 1910-1920, we think, and originally had a sink and stove in it for the yardman and driver. The garage ceiling is twelve feet high. When we bought the house, the garage was in bad shape. The roof was sagging and leaking, the mortar and brick had cracked in several places, the boardedup windows were nearly rotted, the window screens were rusted.
