Getting onto the really important stuff

Thanks Terrick. Managed to get it wrapped before christmas with a temporary roof. Hoping to get the inspection signed off and the extension clad early in the new year. Re: Getting into the garage, there's more room than shown, pretty easy to get into and also turn around with the space I have...

Here's how the window is looking on the inside now.

Finally some progress. Now I can get the plans to the council. Before: After: Anyone need some firewood?
