Day 186 Happy Fourth of July!

Today the garage died. Well last night in the heavier storms is the more likely time of death, the rain today wasn't as intense. Dad just noticed it this afternoon and not until he was right in front of it. I don't think I looked out the back window at all like I usually do to check on it.

I walked Nicholas earlier and talked briefly to the neighbor and if I'd looked down the driveway then I would've seem it but I didn't look, I just headed for the front door... So it'll be a bit of an unsolved mystery.

Dad is going to see about the insurance. It might be nice to rebuild the garage and use it properly for storing things again instead of using the top of the yard for equipment. :)

I think we could probably dismantle the wreckage ourselves over time like we did the porch. Except it's way heavier and there's a ton more wood to deal with, not to mention the things crushed inside (or outside like the hose that I left back there when I last watered the garden). It seems a shame to waste it by cutting and bundling it go out with the garbage. Maybe we'll use some to make a new garage. Looking at it, it was really well constructed. The interior walls were finished with different wood than the outside wood.
