Garage side wall <br />[For simplicity and distinction, I will call this building the "garage" so as not to confuse it with the <br />original "barn".] <br />At the time of purchase <br />The east side of the garage was without an exterior wall. <br />The interior wall and studs were exposed, as was insulation <br />and wiring. A door at mid -length of the east wall was <br />present, with a threshold about 1' above garage floor and <br />about 3' above the exposed foundation and floor of the dirt <br />pit where the original barn had been. A tarp covered the <br />upper 2/3 of the exposed wall, but was untethered and <br />allowed exposure to the elements since the barn's <br />demolition. <br />Discussion <br />As stated above, the vintage barn photos do not show the <br />garage. This building was separate and added at a later <br />date. The garage appears on the schematics that are part of <br />the historic registry, as we have learned, so it was at least <br />present in the mid -1980's. I presume the garage was built <br />and attached directly abutting the side of the original barn <br />and that it had no actual exterior wall. <br />Vision <br />Clearly the wall needed to be restored in order to preserve the garage and <br />provide safety for the exposed electric and insulation. Although the garage <br />was not vintage, it was our desire to restore the side of the garage in the <br />same theme as the other sides of the garage. <br />Process <br />The plan was to bring the green space to a level just under the level of the <br />garage floor so that it would not allow water into the garage, but also to <br />correct the disparity of the garage door and garage floor (threshold was V <br />above garage floor) and the proposed green space height (just under the <br />level of garage floor) to bring them closer to a normal threshold <br />configuration. The single non -vintage door was replaced with a double <br />door configuration of repurposed vintage -style doors that swing open much <br />like swing barn doors would. Exterior paint was matched to the rest of the <br />building's current color (forest green). In <br />conjunction with the restoration of the former <br />barn site (pit), the electric was evaluated and <br />tapped for providing power to the three post <br />lamps on the perimeter of the green space. A <br />single flood light was placed high on the wall <br />to provide the option of more downward <br />
