About Me

My photo
My Name is Travis Evans. I have been married since 2007 to my wife, Kira Evans. We have a Three girls, Kenzie Lou, Jacee Pink, and Emmy Jeanne. My wife has been doing the blog thing for a few years now, you can follow her comments @ travisandkiraevans.blogspot.com. Her blog covers our family and things we have done. Me, I'm going to cover what I call TKDesign. TKDesign is an idea which stands for creativity, execution, purpose, and family. Family with the "TK." TK gets its roots from a high school love story. A simple representation of two teenagers love, T+K. In our later years we dropped the "+" and now "TK" represents us, our family, and our values. Design, as the English dictionary defines it; to create, fashion, execute or construct according to plan, to have a purpose, to devise for a specific function or end, to make a drawing. We can sum up the definition with these three words; Creativity, Execution, and Purpose. You put these four things together; Family, Creativity, Execution, and Purpose and you have the idea of TKDesign. So you'll get my thoughts on sports, cars, designs, and my family. So if that Interests you feel free to read on!

Garage - Day 31

I got the last wall in the back stood up and then had to rework the windows because he windows from the bungalow hut were 4ft instead of 3ft.





New opening to fit 4ft windows.


New window!






Garage - Day 32-34

So Saturday we did a lot of prep work to get the roof up. Kira said I made a lot of noise but it didn't look like I did much. We got the beams up and loaded the trusses on the roof. Thanks Mike,Patrick, Jordan, Josh, and of course my dad!

Garage - Day 27 & 28

The attic is underway... We started to build the wall and then the fact that we ran out of nails and the sun was getting sleepy we had to stop. So I went to my favorite summer store HD and picked up some nail and we reconvened another day. Once the sun woke and we fulfilled our normal work duties we squared up the wall, sheeted it, and lifted it into place. Shoot out to Jeff Jensen for helping lift the wall.
