The Slippery Slope

It turns out that the tiny box that represents the garage of our new house will not stay put on the blueprints. We finally agreed  that my plan to put the garage facing the street was best (no surprise to readers of this blog) and now we find out that the lot is sloped 4.5 feet from front to back. (Garage door at the bottom of a slope= water in the garage.) This little hill is turning into the residential architecture equivalent of the Hoover Dam and is threatening to cost as much.
