Larry,

Thank you for the compliment on the stucco. I was hesitant on my first stucco model but found it was much less of a fuss.

I moved the garage around on the lot to see what location I liked best. First in the back corner, then a little forward and then near the front.

I can best use the space and get more if I place the garage in the back corner.

I looked through one of my old detail boxes and found some fence I used on a long gone FSM kit.

I measured and cut two pieces to frame the garage. The fence fits up to each of the two corners and not all the way around.

Back in a few. Time for a Diet Pepsi.

I used 8X8s to frame the gabled ends of the garage roof.

Now, really back in a few.
