Garage - Day ? (Honestly, I've lost track)

Let me give you the latest update. I've got all the windows in now. We were able to finish framing and sheeting the roof. We decide with all this rain we better cover it with at least tar paper, so we got that done. So it ready for shingles!

Last window installed!

Lady bit of roof framing done.

It's all sheeted now!

Now you can see what it will look like.

First section is laid down.

Paper is all down.

Garage - Day 40 - 43

Getting the little thing done... Dad and I put the facia up on the back wall. There were a few little things that Neal and I were able to do last Friday. We put the paneling up on the last wall, sheeted the end truss, and added all the additional beam supports on the house wall. 

Garage - Day 35-39

We've had a few good days of progress. I got a lot of little things done and two big things done. Lets start with the little things...

Finished fixing the window openings and adding the headers!

Had to open the window by another foot.

All done and header in place.

Built small wall to support the roof beam.

Summary of day 35 & 37.

Day 36 dad came over to help put in the garage man door. Just two windows and a garage door to put in.

Trusses came on Friday.

Saturday (Day 38) we hosted them into place and set the back half up.

How we look from the back.

We also got the front wall in place. It is starting to take its shape.

Day 39, big day! We stick framed the remaining trusses for the back half and and we were able to get it sheeted in full. Thanks to both dads for spending Labor Day laboring for me.

Here is one angle.

Here is another angle.

It has started to look like my CAD model. Take a look for yourself.

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!

Monday all the prep work we did on Saturday paid off and the trusses are in place and most the sheathing for the middle section of the roof.

Thanks again dad!

Today I got a little work done. I put the plywood on and now the front is enclosed.

Almost looks complete, well the first level!

Garage - Day 29 & 30

I didn't have much time these past two days but progress is progress...

I framed the west wall in.

The before picture.

Put the panels on the south wall to almost finish sheeting it.

Added 2x4's and sheeting to door.

Sheeting.

Added 2x4's to garage door opening in preparation for installing the door.

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.

Today we finished the floor. Special thanks to Grandpa Brent and Neal for helping with the floor and to Grandma Karla and Aunt Tine for helping watch the girls.
