    The hand-me-down garage

    Name is a long-ish story for another time so for now I'll just talk about the garage. I changed jobs around two years ago and after a few weeks of searching found the place I currently have out in the country. One of the big selling points for me was that it came with a 24x32 detached garage...

    1st time homeowner in KS

    Not even two months ago I closed on my first home. It was a small farm lot that came with several buildings aside from the house including a 24 x 32 detached garage and a 40 x 60 Morton style building. I was walking through Lowe's as I needed to get some things to fix up the house when I...
