<\/p>\nI visited family in Ontario for two weeks in early June. \u00a0Thanks to my sister Karen for hosting and keeping me busy. \u00a0Just before I left I ordered plans for a 2-car garage.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The plans were waiting for me when I returned home and since then I have been planning the construction. \u00a0Yesterday I applied for a building permit which will take a few weeks to be processed. \u00a0In the meantime I am searching for a contractor to build the slab-on-grade foundation. \u00a0The rest of the construction I will do myself with some help from friends to do heavy lifting.<\/p>\n
Above is the site plan. \u00a0Currently the driveway extends from the road all the way back to the shed where there is a car\/boat tent. \u00a0The strategic placement of the garage turns the area behind the garage into garden space, provides\u00a0privacy, and increases the deer-free zone. \u00a0BTW the deer did not penetrate the newly constructed fences while I was away.<\/p>\n The schedule is to build the foundation this year and then construct the rest in 2016 after I return from Mexico. \u00a0Yes, I decided to return to Guanajuato next winter, leaving mid-November and returning mid-March. \u00a0I will be renting the same efficiency apartment and going to La Hacienda Spanish School<\/a>, newly founded by my teacher friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I visited family in Ontario for two weeks in early June. \u00a0Thanks to my sister Karen for hosting and keeping me busy. \u00a0Just before I left I ordered plans for a 2-car garage.
