A Door for the Garage

The Garage-Within-a-Garage (GWiG) is coming along nicely. I have completed the first set of doors! (Well, almost...)

As you can see, these doors form an entryway into the little gap between the GWiG and the actual garage doors which lead to the front driveway. The theory is that we'll be able to use these doors to take care of the snow removal during the winter and the gardening during the spring and summer. The gap actually is like a little shed inside the garage. I used the outer wall of the GWiG to hang the tools on, and the shed has just enough room to enclose the lawn mower, the show blower, the garbage bin, and the recycling bins.

In this view, you can see through the GWiG doorway all the way out into the driveway, and you can even see the garbage bin beyond.


Here you can see that the garbage bin has been brought into the little shed area between the outer garage door and the inner garage (GWiG) door.


Now I've lowered the outer garage door so that you can see that the gap between the inner and outer doors forms a little shed space.


Finally, when the GWiG doors are closed, the GWiG is isolated from the outer garage. And, hopefully, warmer, too! After all, the whole purpose of this project is to provide a warm place to work on projects for the winter.


Notice that the doors are currently held by clamps. Tomorrow, I need to get the hinges so they'll be "real" doors!
