Very few homes here have garages and the ones that do use them for storage not cars. One of our rental units has a very small garage and the American renter wants to use it for his new motorcycle.
The door was latches and wouldn't open for repair so Elder Foy climbed thru a broken window of hundred year old cobwebs to get in. He is truly a man of faith!
The garage had no lock but had a steel pen in the floor outside the door for one. The new lock Would be over $100.00 US so we made one that uses a padlock. That's my welding. It looks bad but is very solid. For the money we could have installed a remote opener but none of the local suppliers have hear of them and I could not find one in their catalogs!

Another thing about this home, In Utah we go thru a lot of trouble to keep water away from the foundation. But with the current drought the clay ground is drying out and shrinking so the house in sinking. We had to flood the ground around it to swell it up.  The home very old and made out of stone and survived worst.

  2. Glad you're having fun! I'm not a fan of old houses. They are fun to look at but not so much fun to live in.
