Halloween this year was spent in Fruita. It was a good time until I busted my tailbone pulling a wheelie at the end of the trail

A big brown door

The garage door was finally installed. Now I can start working on the
garages inside.

Dirt then grass

I like grass. I just hope it gets established before winter.

Red is to much

I like the green but red is to much for me. A brown that matches the
gutters and garage door is probably better.

Long side windows

Go big!!!

Natural light is nice and the big windows look good inside.

House colors

Sage and something?

Maybe the sage and red trim?

Inside windows

I think I like the equally spaced windows that are not so far from the
edge.

A, B or ...

A) The windows must be 18" from the door which makes them 71" or ~6'
from the edge. Doing an equal space from the right edge makes the
windows seem to close. Pros - big inside corner for tools/shelves.
Cons - spacing is to close

B) From the right side of the door to the right side of the garage
there is 20' subtract 10' for windows. Divide remaining 10' with 2.5'
on eachn side of window. Pros - looks well spaced Cons - no big
corner for tools/shelves

Big side windows?

I wasn't planning on side windows but the contractor put them in
because there was no communication. Now I like them and think maybe I
should have bigger ones put in when they replace the aluminum windows
with vinyl.

Garage windows 71" from side

The windows must be 18" from the door and that puts them at 71" from
the side.

Cyclocross... my first race

Cyclocross started in Europe has a fall sport and has recently been
gaing popularity in the United States. I raced my first cyclocross
this weekend and had a blast even though I got 49th out of 51 for my
age and ability class.
