So it's not quite a garage update, but thought I'd share some pictures. My house was built circa 1880, and in 1949 it was moved from its original location to the location it currently is in. When we moved into the house, we were given a small wooden box. Inside the box was 3 photos all dated...

I am not a member though I quite like them as well. 10 years ago I got the nickname from my friends after we saw Austin Powers: Goldmember.

Thanks for the tips everyone! Lots of great info here. I plan on doing a lot of work this weekend. Look for updates coming up.

Unfortunately the siding does come all the way down to the ground. The bottom sill is in somewhat decent shape. There's some areas that are a bit more worn than others, but not enough to have me overly concerned at this time. Those patio blocks disgust me. The owners back in the 50's had...

This is the door that I'm currently working on. It was originally on the house, but we replaced that door for something newer. My fiancé promised me that if we took that door off the house, she wanted me to use it elsewhere. She doesn't like waste. So I figured this would let in a lot more...

So here's the shed. On the outside it looks like complete garbage, in my opinion at least. Structurally it's quite sound though. I'd like to move it off of the patio blocks and over into the back corner of the lawn. Logistically it just doesn't make a lot of sense to be where it is. Just not...

I actually have a 12x8 shed in the backyard, but it's up on this weird platform. It makes pulling the lawnmower in and out a bit of a hassle so until I've done something with that, I just keep it in the garage. The wheelbarrow is for catching water when it rains ... :sad:

Right now I'm actively searching for a local Ducati SportClassic with front fairing. I've found a few that are in other states, but it's a bit further than I want to go for it at this point. If by the middle of the winter I haven't found one, I'll expand my search.

Earlier this year my fiancé and I decided now was the time to buy our first house. Being that she's a historian, she wanted a house with "character". I knew what that really meant. It meant she wanted an old house. But with old houses come problems. We looked at a few here in Massachusetts...
