From dilapidated garage to the start of our English garden.

We carefully removed the 100 year old siding from the walls we tore down and used them to side the new wall we put up. Our garage was always too small for a car, so now it's a better shed with new sitting area.

    The space is better organized now. There may be less square feet of garage, but more actual space because it's in better shape and more usable.

    @Debbi C. Oh I'm sure UPS or Fed X could ship it for you. Probably wouldn't cost much more than a couple boatloads of $$$ and maybe an arm 'n leg or so!!!

    Great way to transform and reuse. It certainly went from eyesore to a lovely, useful space. Kudos to you and your family for the transformation.

    A little ingenuity and I'm sure a lot of elbow grease and you have a lovely, airy seating place! Lovely!.
