Gremlin Garage II fencing completed, now for the garage door....

[Jerry Casper <gremlingts@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, last week(end) saw the completion ( more or less
) of my new $4,851 pressure-treated fence around my
building lot to house my currently farm-bound AMC
fleet ( ok, and a few classic Chevies, too! LOL ).
Seems like alot for about 100 feet of fence and gate,
but considering the price of wood and materials, well
over 2g's, the permit process, the renting of
equipment for hole digging, I thought it to be inline.
The gates have 3 hinges, are 10' wide each. So I have
20' of clearance to get a roll-back into the lot from
the alley, at an angle. Not as much as I'd like, but
as good as I can do with the lot design, trying to
maximize square footage enclosed. The additional
human-sized gate for easier accessibility ( and for my
neighbor to get to her oil tank on my property ) was a
hold-up for a week, but it's done. Only nit was the
fencer couldn't put a post by her building, the
concrete pad extended over into my lot, apparently.
So, I'm building a 2x4 drawbar across the gate to lock
it to, so there will be some security againest easy
breakin. 
  The fencer is getting a brick/stone guy to look at
my building, to see about putting a door in. I'm still
debating the roll-up vs. hangar-type door, most
installers are probably more familiar with the
roll-up, but I'm not thrilled with all the extra
hardware above, and they aren't heavy-duty doors, a
hanging solid door would be heavy, but more secure in
my opinion. Anyone got comments on that? I'll have to
measure my wall space, to see if I can clear the 10'
wide door sideways, I forgot to do that. Oy. Well, I
have some time.
  Anyway, with the gate finished, and the unused
Propane tank being moved, I can probably start moving
in some of my fleet to the back lot there now. Visited
my aunt in an Assisted Living facility, she said she
just wants some notice of when I want to go to her
farm, so she can notify the people looking after it.
But I hope to have a few cars moved before the end of
the year ( I have a whole week off after Xmas, so I
intend to move some then ). I figure I can probably
get 4-6 cars in without hindering the garage door
project much. AT least, I HOPE so. 
  Well, that's been my AMC life these past few months,
hope to make more progress on actual AMC cars this
winter, if the garage door gets put in. :) That'd be
awesome. All for now,

Jerry
