Many years ago when the Karen and Steve Johnson family was just starting, they moved into a house here in Tulsa. Its in a great part of town, one of those great areas that costs just about $50,000 above normal because it is located in this ritzy part of town. Anyway, part of the house, I should say the part detached, a garage, was really not in that good of shape. It was leaning a little to the west and to the north then.
But it has gotten worse over the years. We, Karen, Kyle, Marie and I started addressing the garage late in 2007. Some of this effort is shown in pictures showing the bracing of the garage and cleaning it out. I was leading the effort to bring the structure down with the help of other family members. We had a dumster ordered and tools from a local rentall were signed up for. But “they” (whomever “they” are) had someone come in to look at what it would take to bring the garage down and “they” said it was something that should only be handled by professionals.
Accordingly I wasn’t allowed to address the problem. What with the December 2007 ice storms and subsequent rain and wind storms this year, nothing was accomplished. But a few months ago, a neighbor turned in Karen to the city for limbs hanging in her trees and as a result of that inspection, they saw the garage. They said the garage must come down.
Its now down thanks to a local contractor. These pictures show some, if not most of this effort.
