Welp, I had the contractor I mentioned stop by today to check things out. He seemed like a nice and honest guy. Unfortunately, I tipped my hand as it were, by telling him my exact budget. Not sure if...

Oh, sorry about that. It's only a few feet from the house, actually. 3 or 4 feet, I think.

Hmm, I'm trying to upload some pictures of my garage, but the upload keeps failing. What's the deal with that?

Should I use something like "Imgur", instead, to post the pictures?
