It just took a long time for the builders to get to us. The company sold 2 times the number of buildings over last year, along with the rain and Covid issues, they are running way behind.

I hope to have a finished shell by the end of the week.

This experience reminds me why I prefer to do my own work and why I don't like to depend on other people.

If you were Amish or Mennonite you could have had a garage-raising by now.  ;D

It's looking good!

If I would have done it myself, I think I could've had it done....even as slow as I am.  :)

I finally have a new garage.  I have a huge list of things I want to do. I  had to put Baby in the corner until I finish interior construction. At least it will be parked inside for awhile.

Sent from somewhere  on the road, I hope.

I haven't' posted here in a while. Been busy making sawdust.

Not much help, but she has a nail gun.

Looks like something now


Give her something with a trigger and she's good. Not so much with sheetrock mud.

Prep for head in the apt


When you drill the hole through the wall where template shows and forget to check where the studs are located.


Ready to install on hanger


10 minutes and it's on the hanger

[jrobinson]

The part that put a smile on my face, the head for the garage.


Missed the studs this time.


Almost there


Lines, drains and power on the outside


Outside unit


Connected and power on. Temp inside garage. It was 40 outside.
