I have heard a picture is worth a 1,000 words so here is a picture. I know this aerial photo company that was shooting right in the area anyway so I get some photos of my house, or the most important part, the garage.
The parking lot is squared off but the tree blocks the view of that area in the far right of the photo. The single space is where I have my lift and work bay. You can see the wall goes back and that is the workbench area. It also makes it clear why I just back in. I can just pull into the driveway and forward up to the fence then straight back into the garage, I can leave in by just pulling forward with no backing.
It is a ton to shovel snow from. That garden area in front of the garage was just grass when we moved in. It has been changed around many times. Right now all those bigger bushes in the garden are history and it will be transformed again with Mrs Carrera pointing and grunting where she wants holes dug to plant a new bush. The area in the foreground behind the wall has been transformed yet again and has plans for lots more holes to be dug this year. It too was grass that I mowed when we moved in.
