said by Astyanax:said by mt999999:Finally, got the deed to the new garage from sheriff's sale! This thing is huge. Not in quite as nice shape as I hoped, but we'll clean it up. Already cut down the tree growing under the left door (if facing garage) that was preventing it from closing (seen in the last photo), and put a new lock on the man door around the side. It's 64 feet wide and 28 feet deep. Unfortunately, only the right half has a concrete floor. Next project is getting the electric turned back on, and also clearing out all of the junk that they left in here. I can be seen sorting through junk in the last photo.
There were no nifty classic cars in the garage, but the prior owners also left 1.5 cars out back... a circa mid 90's Ford Tempo (very mossy inside), and the entire front clip from an early 70's green Chevy Nova (sitting on top of the rear end, drive shaft, and 2 rear tires/drums from the same car).
Be careful going through that stuff as I'm sure you're going to encounter and uncover some "residents".
Yes, I have found some mice droppings... no fun. I'm salvaging some local pottery and a few things that are worth something, I've taken a few milk crates worth of stuff out. Most of it is fit for a dumpster, and that's coming in the next couple of weeks I reckon.
