More Renovations

We have been working on converting our attached garage into a family fun room for the last couple of months. This was a very challanging job for us as we are novices in the home renovation world. We have been using our basement for storage and work shop space since we started the renovation. This is working alright as a short term solution but as the basement is only about 5' height it does make it a little cramped for the hubby's work shop. That and the other day during a storm the power went out and the pump wouldn't work which meant the basement began to flood, luckily only a few inches of water before the power came back on but just the same it made it obvious that we need to invest in a work shop/garage for the back yard so we can store the tools out there rather than in the basement. We have begun looking for the right option for us and are hoping to get the Concrete Shed built in the next couple of months. I know my hubby is looking forward to having a real work shop again as he is always grumbling after going into the basement to work, he's almost 6' so he is always bumping his head off the pipes and beams in the basement.
