well over the past year, I re-sided the back of the house so that took alot of my weekend time. I finally got the parking/driveway in front of the addition paved and I love it! no more tracking gravel out onto my driveway and street when I pull in and out everyday. I finally decided to get...

It has been awhile since I've posted anything. There hasn't been a whole lot to post. I got my lights in and all my power is working so at least it's functional now. I built (2) of the (3) sections of shelf across the back wall. I nailed the 2x4 into the studs across the back wall and...

looking good so far! I'm interested to see how it turns out. Nice Job!

very nice build so far! Looks great!

Looks great!

very nice addition! :thumbup:

I haven't added it all up yet but from memory, I'm in it right at about $11,000 to date. The permitting wasn't too terribly bad. Getting past the "soils" department with the county was the toughest due to being on a septic system. At first they wanted me to hire someone from the state to come...

"Would you do anything different?"...... wow that's kind of a loaded question. Without pointing out all my build's flaws, I would have taken a little more time when framing and used stringlines when setting my trusses (they vary about a 1/2" either direction off center) I made it look right...

Thank you sir!

anytime! This forum is great for inspiration for builds as well as answers to questions! So many great builds on here!

My friends own a local asphalt paving company so he picked up the grindings at the plant. He said that the plants will re-use the best grindings in fresh mix but whatever they deem "not good" they pile up and sell. As far as what I had to work with, if that is the "bad stuff" it's fine with...

This is awesome! Nice job!:thumbup:

Well it's been a long hot summer here but I did manage to get some more stuff done along with camping trips and all. I got the wall finished up in front of the addition And then finally got 28 tons of asphalt grindings delivered by a friend. These were really nice too! very fine screened...

Yes I'm fine.... just extremely busy. After the long recession, the construction industry has taken off again and we're all extremely busy. I have not got the asphalt in yet but know I am going to run out of nice weather one day so I should get on it. I'm planning on getting my asphalt...

Here is a pic I got of the front with the paint and trim done around the garage doors. This weekend I bought 40 blocks to build a small wall around where I cut the parking area down in front of the addition. I think it will look nicer with a clean edge for the paver to pave up to and I won't...
