About

Hi, I’m Eric, and yes I have a bit of ADD, and I’m always tinkering.

This blog is a bit of gardening, woodworking, craft, and modern design all rolled into one. There is a bit of something for everyone, I’d like to think.

I’m also a

• Westie Owner

This isn’t my first blog, In fact it isn’t even my second.  I’ve been keeping a blog over at www.EricHegwer.com for a few years for my business.  But when I bought a house I found that I was mixing content (wedding photos and D.I.Y. projects) so I started this one.

I’m not afraid to tackle small or large projects, know enough to stop working when I’m tired, and have enough pro friends to call in an emergency when I get stuck.

My First Garage is all about tackling new projects, from idea to weekly dusting.  As for my style, I tend to lean toward the modern.  I grew up in a 1920’s french cottage style home on California’s central coast, have lived in a shopping mall, and now own a 1970’s ranch in Austin, TX.

Every so often I plan on having some give-aways – so be sure to subscribe using one of the links to the left.
