Vintage Life: Goodbye Garage
We've been cleaning up the yard around our 1920s bungalow, and had always planned to tear down the ramshackle garage/workshop (and *literally* half a bath) built by the former owner. We knew it was full of mold, so it didn't surprise us when it turned out to be full of termites too.
Below is a view of the side of the back of the house. We added the door in what used to be the pantry (and was probably originally the back porch). That will now be the entrance to the mud room (off the kitchen) from the garage, which will be built where you're standing. The rest of the ramshackle garage/workshop will be torn down, and then we'll build a large bedroom addition in that space.

old bricks! (happy dance!)
