  1. Saga to build a home for the Saab

    The long saga to build a garage for the Saab is closer to reality. However, there's a 3-4 week delay due to insufficient water pressure with the required sprinkler system. A larger water meter has to be installed. The inside of the garage, particularly the garage floor finish is not yet done.

    It may be another 6-8 weeks until it gets the city's certificate of occupancy. The interior of the garage is not yet finished. The structure hasn't been named yet. How about calling it Saab House? Or Saab World?

    The work continues. The garage is large. It first was planned as a 2 car garage but when the costs of planning was found to be so high because the city required that so many consultants be hired in order to get the building permit, a 4 car garage with additional space above was conceived for less than double the price.

  5. My own Saab Centre (new garage) is progressing

    The long saga to build a garage for my Saab is progressing. I first started thinking about it in June, 2010. About a year ago, an architect was selected and drawings done later in 2010. It was hoped the building permit would be approved by April this year and construction almost completed by now. However, the permit was not issued until now. Construction has begun in earnest to beat the winter, at least the basement, framing, and roof.
