Stalls

Knowlesville Posted on April 22, 2006 by MattMay 24, 2019
Garage Stalls

Lori’s idea for the garage was to give each motorcycle it’s own “stall” and I thougth that was a pretty clever idea so we went with it. There will eventually be dutch doors on each stall.

Here’s the latest on the garage. The posts from the old front porch are in and I’m glad we had them around to reuse. They’re really going to add to the architectural interest of the building.

Purple Paint Job

A few years ago Ferndale won an award for being one of “America’s Prettiest Painted Places”. We may have to give it back. Honestly this picture doesn’t do justice to this new paint job on Main Street. In person it’s …
