[BaadAssGremlins] Gremlin Garage II update - fence COMPLETED, now for door in bldg...

["Jerry" <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
