It's been a long time since I posted in this. Walls have been installed now for 4 years, I have no movement that I can see. Everything is still level on all sides, no settling or cracks. We had a baby a couple years ago, so a lot of progress stopped. I've really only added some extra...

Yes, the area over the loft will be spray foam. I've already sealed the rafters with 2" ridgid foam along the attic. The vaulted side will be blown in insulation.

Front is just about complete. I will be painting the white pvc board the same tan color. The photo looks like the siding is warped and wavy, it is not! It nice and flat. I followed the instructions.

Siding has finally been bought and delivered. Should have soffits and siding up by Saturday. The front of the garage will have CertainTeed shingle shakers, and the rear will be standard horizontal vinyl.

Which project to work on? Garage or Jeep. Just pulled the body off.

I've been checking the walls every few months for level. They were set 1 year 3 months ago, crazy enough, nothing has moved. The prep work is obviously a big deal, using the correct gravel, compacting, using the rebar in the the walls to tie into the concrete slab, laying down a...

I'll be putting flooring down behind the knee walls to add built in storage. Electrical is finished up there, 4 outlets and 2 lights. Attic is 16x12 with 8' ceiling in the middle.

I'm starting back up again on the garage. I laid down osb flooring in the loft today. I'll be able to finally get all the seasonal stuff off the floor and put upstairs.

It's been awhile since I last posted. I really haven't done much with the garage due to getting married next week and trying to save money!!!! Things I have left to do: Siding, attic floor, wire a couple more lights, walls, ceiling and insulation.....so a lot! Covid has a lot of...

Just an FYI, brake cleaner eats right through this. Make sure you put plastic or something down first.

Menards website. Polebarn. Design editor. I downloaded it onto my laptop. It's pretty cool, and gives you a cost estimate with all the building materials.

I received my gate opener from China. Came pretty fast, about 1.5 weeks. I was actually shocked by the quality, it's pretty heavy duty. I mounted the brackets and leveled the swing gate arm. I still have some tweaking to do on the arm travel, but I'm getting close. It runs off of 24V...

Northeast Precast out of millville NJ.

@TeamTruett. Your PMs are turned off, can't send a message. My walls are 10' high, lost about 5" to concrete.

Vinyl cedar shake on the front gable side, trimed out with some PVC board. The back will just be some cheaper 5" standard siding. Nobody can see the back since it's woods, no sense in wasting money.
