A Little Update

Always hot it seems. Actually Dad and I went to Nome, Alaska to build a house. I wouldn't mind heading your way.

Looks GREAT! Really have enjoyed this thread.

Here is an update

Well done!

Looking good. Keep up the good work!

Dig the house fella. My wife says she loves it, as she walks by the computer. She wants to see the inside if you can. No pressure, from me, but her, that's another story. I'll be subscribing.

Dad and I did some framing this weekend. When you do this for a living, you don't get much time to do your own stuff. We mainly just farted around for most of the day and this is what we did. It was 106F and motivation was low. Besides that everyone stopped to see what we were doing and wanted...

I am about to order my door and I guess it's just me or are garage doors way overpriced? I do have an oddball size, 14X8, but come on. Where are you guys buying your doors? This one is an AMARR LP30 for 700.00 installed. No insulation or opener. What do you think am I getting screwed?

Sorry, no real plans. Just flying by the seat of my pants really. Well I guess the only real plan is to keep it in tune with the house. Make something that is somewhat period to the house (built 1898) without over taking it. I explained a little better in the posts before. Hope it helps.

Yes, the gable end will continue on and the side will get a shed roof.

Well it is "L" shaped as you can see. I plan to continue the gable back. That section is 14wX12. The longest part is 16wX26 that will be a shed roof off of the gable roof, with a 14X8 Garage Door. I built the carport about 2 years ago and decided I needed something on the ground. I built that...

All of this so I can have a nice place to work on my truck and other things.

Finally got the concrete poured today. Sorry these are out of order.
