Thanks for the input Fred, I have considered doing something similar but really prefer to give the garage back to the wife, I like for her to park in the garage although I use the driveway myself. However, yard tools will remain in the garage and the fun tools will go to the shed.

Thanks for the replies, was hoping that the blocks would be sufficient, digging and filling 24 piers becomes a project itself. When I lived in the country I owned a tractor with attachments including an auger, I sure miss living in the country.

Thank you.
