Garage must come down
1918-2005 we hardly even knew ye! The garage was functional, but small so a plan was developed to expand the footprint west to 24 ft. This would involve removal of a 200 year old white oak tree. (est removal cost $2000)
When discussing plans with our neighbor, Jen denounced my horrific plan. They teamed up, threatening to tie themselves to the tree and all the time screaming "that tree was here before the indians" and that tree was here 200 years ago, where will you be in 200 years!"
So that leaves us stuck, since you cant build through teh tree, you must build around the tree .
