Hey Riley! Sure did! Id say i finished about 4 years ago. I Ended up doing 30x32 with 13 ish tall ceiling. I am actually building a lean-to off one of the gable ends and it made me think of this fourm. I suppose working 50 hours at my day job and 50 hours building a house/garage didn't leave...

Got it roofed and doors and windows in the last two weekends, this weekend was spent cleaning and cleaning. on to mechanical and plumbing and electrical.

PS. I dont have a clue as to why some pictures end up side ways and I have been trying to fix it with no luck, can anyone help me out?

Dad & I managed to deck the first floor, get three walls built and two stood up this past weekend. I am going with a double studded construction, It definitely took way more time getting thoes walls built, ill try and get a close up next time im there to show whats going on in thoes walls.

it is a great area, but your right the rock absoutly *****. I knew i was going to run into a little because the town is known for it but I was very surprised at the amount. I just keep on telling my self the view is worth it lol.
