Does anything look wrong with this?

If you said that the garage looks to be leaning to the left, you win. I am going to guess a bit on the history of the garage. I’m thinking that it was built either at the same time as the house, or very soon after. The stalls are just big enough to get our two Pontiac Grand Ams into it, with about a foot of space all around them. It probably would have fit a car built around or before 1928 with no problem at all. However, to us, it is beyond usable. We are most likely going to tear it down.

I rather despise having to destroy or tear down original items to the property, but, as I said above, the garage is just too small. Not only that, but I’m sure that ten years from now, it will have fallen down itself. Back to guessing again, I’m pretty sure that when it was built, they only poured concrete footings around the walls, but left the main are dirt. At some point, it was filled with concrete to form the floor leaving a crack between the footings and the floor. Anyone who lives in an area that spends half the year below freezing would know that cracks in concrete are usually a bad idea. In our instance, the top of the footings have tilted away from the concrete floor. The side that happens to be the worst is the left side, which has 2-3″ of a gap. Hence the leaning.

While I’m pretty sure there is little we can do to utilize the existing structure, we are all ears. Either way, I’ll be saving as much of the wood that is in good condition for future uses. I need an excuse to purchase a planer anyways

Days until the Penske truck arrives at our new (old) house: 4. Days until I can start getting detailed pictures of what I am talking about to make it that much easier to understand: 4. Tick, tock, tick, tock…
