we found this steel tanker desk on craigslist for $50. it was the original grey color, badly chipped and scratched, and there were dents and the vinyl top was shot. we stripped it down repainted it with a sturdy industrial paint, covered the top in a cool fabric, and were having glass cut for the top also. 

this is looking much better. no spanish tiles, no crooked add on roof, just the original slope connecting the main house to the garage.

thats my dad ripping the roof off. we uncovered a complete mess up there, and found that the owner had some pretty amature work done. i think it was the same person that put in that terrible rounded arch.
