    Wow, you guys are both building dream garages!
    Roger, I’m losing track. After you add the electric Ranchero (Rancherolectric) does that get you back to three falcons?
    Funny thing is- I think that would be a great project, and you could probably make it faster than all the gas falcons.

    Don, my dream garage would have been the last design, but it'll be plenty big enough for my needs.
    Other than my 66 F100, I have only the Ranchero now.
    And yes, If built right an electric car is very quick. I suspect SEMA will soon see a lot of "kits" being shown off. I think it would be a fun build, and maybe my (someday) second Falcon would be electric.

    After over 4 weeks of trying to get a ball-park schedule, with replies like "I'll have to check with Lew and get back to you" - then nothing for another week; prompting me to ask again... I finally told the guy yesterday that I thought this "Lew guy" was his imaginary friend. That got a reply. He says I'm about a week out from the crew coming to start the layout and dig.

    Fingers crossed.

    There is a mote now...

    Today it started. After over two years I have now seen movement on the garage. Tomorrow the form guys are supposed to come followed by the form inspection on Friday. Concrete should be pouring next week, I'm told. Fingers crossed.

    My soon to be garage. Not a quandary anymore

    They came and set the forms on Friday while I was over in Hansville working on a deck. Had hoped the schedule would be as they said, and they'd have got the dig, the forms, and then the inspection, all done by Friday. I wanted all that behind me so I could head over there having seen it all done. But a delay pushed it all out a day and I couldn't watch the work on that being done.

    Got home really late last night so I didn't even get to see what was done (in person) until this morning when the inspector came. Thankfully it passed and by tomorrow this time the concrete will be poured. Yay.

    I forgot to take pictures today, but these are those sent to me on my phone Friday night.
