We had a break in weather and it’s cool now, so I went to Hermann to plant some iris and do some weeding. I was able to stay overnight in our Hermann house because with the windows open in a Cross breeze it was quite pleasant. Our incoming water situation has improved because now we can step out the back door to the deck and get running water from the outdoor hose. It’s almost like living in a real house. Ha ha.

I was anxious to see the garage which is now being built. The entire frame is up. Oy. The garage is gigantic, rather awful.. I did consider that during planning and just sort of thought well I guess I can live with it. And now I have to live with it.

Property now looks like a garage with a small house attached to it. The problem is that our house sits 4 feet down in the approach and I like that very much because it’s surrounded by lime stone walls, it’s cute. But man is it ever dwarfed by this giant-ass garage. It’s really too bad.

our street is curved, with houses from the 1950s, 1960s, and a few from the 1970s. It is pleasant, middle class housing. None of them have a giant ass garage like we have. People on the street probably hate us. Our architect lives across from us and when he redid his house and made it quite large, he kept a very small garage, a one car garage in front.

We are terrible people.
