MaineiacMoose's Adventure Garage.

Well it's been a hell of a year. FU 2020! Bought a new house with a tiny garage. I know BOooooo. Good news is the boss said to build one. Now keep in mind the price of materials has gone crazy here and no one is lacking for work. I was quoted three times more than $65,000 to build a 30x50 Box on our property.

So we bought this dump instead. Meet the Adventure Garage. 28'x48' of freedom. She is a fixer upper but for just over what contractors wanted to build a box, we got a box with an apartment 12.5 Acres of land and two 20' deep ponds. My two sons will have a blast! Oh and it's right next to the ball field and playground.

We have lot's of work ahead of us but I believe it was the better investment.

How do you feel about Bass? The boy's pulled a giant out of the pond after it almost pulled them in lol.
