Garage Workshop I've done it countless times. I walk up the driveway of my dad’s generic suburban ranch house and open the fading, white garage door. The lights on either side of the door mirror each other and are always shining. Once the door finishes its loud opening sequence, I stare at the rusty decklid and tail lights of my Mustang. Off to the right of the car is a wall filled with shelves. The shelves are filled with miscellaneous items such as, christmas decorations, basketballs, and motor oil. The homemade wooden shelves stretch from front to back and ceiling to floor. The nose of the car points to my favorite wall. The seven foot, black, heavy duty Husky tool box sits off to the far left of that wall blocking the door to the back…
Your Home’s Garage Door? Check The Following Things Anybody can have an accident where they bump into their garage door. It could be from something as simple as forgetting to open the garage door when backing out at night, or miscalculating how much room you have when pulling into your driveway. A small bump can be enough to cause some damage to the garage door opener, track, and the door itself. Even if it was a relatively minor bump, be prepared to do the following things. Visually Inspect The…
My dad checked out the door leading to the garage. He touched it and hissed in pain at the heat up against his bare hand. Then he opened it, to my horror the smoke barreled inside to our home. Nothing I could tell myself could waver my belief. The house was on fire and we needed to get out now. I sprinted up the stairs in a panic, telling my other brothers “the house is on fire we need to leave now!” Thoughts ran through my head rapidly. I could not decide what to do first. Just run out or grab…
across the sky with each letter alternating from a passionate red to a sparkling gold. It was really a piece of art to experience Iron Man precisely aim the fire works and coordinate it so they would spell out my cousin 's name. It was near midnight, and by then most of the party guests had left. We had helped my auntie clean up a bit before we decided it was time for us to leave. We were arriving to our home when I noticed the house was not in the same state that we had left it in. I noticed…
confused on why I was so scared. That’s when he sat up and asked me what happened. I froze in a dead because I was too scared. Then I started stuttering because I was trying to explain it. “I I I saw a guy in our backyard and he he looked like he got burnt” I said “Just calm down I will go look and see what’s going on” he said As he goes out and looks I follow behind him. He takes a look out the window and he seen a bunch of people running down the street while being chased. The he…
looking for the mysterious shadow, I noticed a few things about my intimidating location. First I saw a few rusted paint buckets that were surrounded by cobweb, along with that I saw sets of old wooden shelves holding garden tools that my father would soon put in the new garage. The walls looked like something out of an old horror movie. That is when I started thinking of my family. I had no clue whether I would ever see them again. I slowly started to remember the last words I had said to them.…
he had a surprise for me. I told him I would swing by later that night. I hung up the phone and immediately turned to Victoria full of excitement. “What are you so excited for?”, she asked. “Victoria, I think my grandpa bought me that car he was going to look at today!” “Well I wouldn’t get your hopes up, I mean what if he didn’t?” “He had to of! There’s no way he told me he has a surprise for me if he didn’t buy it!” Later that night Victoria dropped me off at my grandparent’s house. I waved…
Every spring my car was no longer allowed in the garage. The screens would be put on and my car would be parked outside until the fall. I guess I didn’t mind because I also enjoyed entertaining. I’m really not sure how Bryant’s man cave moved from the basement to the garage. I recall a few times that Bryant and his nephew, Jered, would try and figure out how they could move the pool table and bar to the garage. If I ever wanted indoor parking again I knew I would have to put a stop to that!…
driveway then suddenly it started to rain tennis balls! Hundreds, Thousands of tennis balls came flying from the sky! Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh. Alexis thought. She barked with joy, she started jumping around everywhere with excitement. How could this get any better, she thought. Then, out of nowhere all of her dog friends came rushing towards her to share the amazing experience with her. They all were having a good time until all the dogs stopped and looked at Alexis and made a soft…
be regretting. As it fired up we both looked at each other in excitement, he gave me a nod and tore off in front leaving me behind as I tried to hop on my own vehicle. We had spent the first few days after finding it kicking up dust behind us wherever our antics would lead us. Not caring about anything, just exploring the back roads of the country. That was until I noticed the other the other guy starting to slow down with his head down in confusion. It turned out the foot gear for the shifter…
