Hi Laura,
I guess I assumed the narrative was already included in the information I provided that was typed in the question
boxes I responded to. However if that needs to be separate, here is the rationale for why not having a garage has
been a hardship.
Inclement weather (which seems to be on the rise), possible damage to vehicles as well as factoring in our ages (my
wife and I are both in our 60s), have made the 5 yeara we have been living at 1212 Briar Street unnecessarily
difficult. A garage would certainly be helpful in being able to get out to go to work in a timely fashion (I need to
leave for work at 6 AM) particularly in the winter, and my wife also needs to be able to get going after I am gone.
There also is additional security provided by having a garage for locking up belongings not suitable for having in the
house when we are gone on vacation in addition to being able to store and access things not suitable for having in
the house such as outdoor equipment/ tools, etc.
I hope that provides sufficient reasons for our needing to have a garage.
Thanks again for your help,
Kevan
