A garage?



We had our first council inspection the other day.

The inspector looked at our foundations a little perplexed then asked, “So, is this a garage?”

No, just a very small house.

Though the to-have-a-garage/to-not-have-a-garage was a fraught conversation for a while. Not really for us as we both knew we didn’t want to compromise the site and our budget by plonking one in the only available spot which also happened to be the best part of the site, but more for everyone else who couldn’t comprehend building a new house that doesn’t include snug lodgings for the car.

Anyway, in case we had forgotten: our little house is, indeed, little.
