It's a garage, of sorts, covered with a tarp-like material. I thought it was framed with PVC pipes, but they're steel, I believe. I call 'em fake garages.

Anyway, Asshole Neighbor (the loud one, not the kittehnapper) got one to cover aaalllll the vehicles they have to have.

He's had it about two months. As you can see, the wind took issue with the structure. Actually, what you can see left of it, left with the most recent stiff breeze. I'm not sure that Beemer has any paint left on the passenger side. What was left of the roof flapped and beat against it in the wind for about two weeks. He don't know where the first bunch of wall/roof went, and he don't know where what was left went when it left, either. All that's left is the skeleton.

I damn near danced when I saw it tore to hell that morning. I don't usually revel in others' misfortune, because Karma, but this is a special situation.

Got any idea what those things cost?

My buddy has two small one car jobs, they were under $500.

Harbor Freight sells those garages pretty cheap and there are plenty of Youtube videos on how to mod them to make them more "windproof".

I'm hoping he got it at Lowe's. Theirs, that size, is about $1800.

From put up to blown away wasn't quite two months, btw.

That feeling, it's called epicaricacy.

Own it.

Wonder why Bambi's mother is just 'Bambi's Mother', and the other characters have names? Reminds me of 'Epstein's Mother' on Welcome Back Kotter...

Laws of Photography

612. If the Sun is out, it's in the wrong place.

287. If your camera takes interchangeable lenses, you have the wrong one on the camera for any given pic.

1. Cats rarely cooperate for photo ops.

Thanks for those pics, Grav.

Reminds me of my US trips when seeing wildlife was at the top of my list.
I remember visiting the Railroad Interpretive Centre in Douglas WY, walking around a mighty locomotive and coming face to face with a White Tail(ed) Deer.
We stood and looked at one another for what seemed like an eternity and eventually he bounded off across some nearby open land.

Happy memories!

Most people don't take such pleasant memories from their trip to the U.S. I'm glad you enjoyed us.

And these pics.

The deer just inside the wood line is the buck from the above post (#136).

I didn't see him when I took the pic.
