Man walks into a garage sale and buys a garage

Well, not really a garage, but a carport. The price was too low for me to refuse. The only catch was that I had to take it apart and move it that week.

Here's the carport as I found it.






It's bolted through the pavement. 






And here I am about to grind away one of the anchor bolts.




Joan and neighbor Stephen carefully removing the aluminum roof panels.






Two of the three minimum-wage workers.






Posing with the vehicle that I learned to hate: the world's longest truck with a bad transmission and scary brakes and sloppy steering. I glad it's safely back at the rental company.



By the way, U-Haul did not come close to meeting my minimum expectations.

Loading steel rafters onto my 3/8-ton pickup truck for their journey into the backyard.
