Doors and Gutters

The progress on the garage has been slow recently, but I have finally gotten doors and gutters on it. Dad was down to help a few weekends ago to put the doors on, and it looks pretty good! It is awesome to be able to easily open and close the garage doors quickly. I also added locks so the place is now completely secure!

I didn't really have the right amount of room to make the doors a standard vertical door, so I ended up making them sliding doors. The doors themselves are standard garage doors, but I put a strip of aluminum along the side of each door so that they are pretty stiff. It worked pretty well!

I recently noticed that the wall was leaking! It had actually caused a little bit of damage on the floor, and was  causing things near the wall to get wet (including some charcoal). After climbing on the roof with a hose to investigate, I found that water was running down the wall, on to the window, under the window (where I still need to put trim) and then down the holes in the cinderblock, pooling, and seeping out. I need to put the trim back on, which should help most of it, but to be safe I installed gutters on the roof. I think it should also end up helping control the water hitting the ground hard under the roof as well.
