I don’t mind garage conversions, but that thing looks like a fortress. Folks get out of shape about an A/C duct on new construction, but hey, if it’s old carraige house, steel roll-down doors are OK!
Getting ready to go to the Supercomputing Show down in New Orleans. Too busy for the Brownstoner fun.
Remember: I depend upon you to defend new construction while I’m away.
i’ve always had a sweet spot for those garage conversions. not that i would ever buy one if i had that kinda money, but it’s always fun to think “what if?”
what you been up to? you missed a very fun thread about vinyl siding the other day!!
Needs some Benson bombs! Sorry, too busy right now.
I’m still in shock over the thread where folks were oohinng and ahhing that POS on Clifton Place. Let’s call it what it is: an old garage with a roll-down steel garage door, steel bars on the windows and a 10 foor high steel spike fence over a steel plate door. A fortress.
enjoy benson – i’ll continue to fight the good fight while you’re away.
