Count me in too!! Have loved following your comments about this and will probably/hopefully/most likely be inspired to keep expanding with more green boxes haha

Fun to watch a build in SE Michigan (same as me) going on during this warmer winter. Keep it up!

Great work and a fun read. Love the side work area as well on top of the one in the back bump.

I have one of the electronic deadbolts, and love it. They way it works is that the inside of the door looks and functions as normal with a lever you twist to manually lock/unlock. The exterior side has a similar looking knob/lever that freespins until you punch in a code to unlock, which...

Man I love coming to this thread every now and then and just drooling over the updates. great work. Every time I read it just makes me want to get out and hit the trails!!

Just caught up from the start. Looking forward to following this one.

I can't resist joining in the praise for this bench. Amazing work. Wish I had that much space- your bench is longer than my whole shop haha. keep up the good work and updates coming (with tools going in)!

Congrats on the front page mention. Just crawled through all 5 pages and didn't realize how much I had been drooling until the end haha. Looks great. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see updates on the benches, work areas, and final stages of the build!!!

Always good to see updates in this awesome garage. Love keeping up with the progress. Looking good...

As I worked on putting sheathing back on the new exterior shape, the wife continued to help by taking off the two sets of shingles making up the old roof(s). You can start to really see the exterior shape take place, including a window over where the bench will be, as well as the opening for the...

With a slab ready for the addition of wall frames for expansion, I started with deconstruction of the old first. Aluminum siding came off first, which as nice as it is to have on the house, is a pain to take off (as well as put back on, after the challenge of even finding someone locally who...

We start with the aftermath of the massive drainage project (you can see some bits of unfilled trench if you look closely, plus the long stretches of no grass) as we finish removing trees, shrubs, etc. from the back area to help prep for the concrete crew. Then prep crew comes in to ready the...

As I mentioned in the brainstorming of the first few posts, this is a small scale expansion that didn't require much concrete. We (the wife and I) had been throwing around the idea of a back patio for a while, so we decided to ramp up the concrete plans and throw a stamped concrete patio in the...

Well as Garage Journal has become one of my daily internet stops as I keep up with other people's builds, I feel it's only fair to give a little back and post pictures of progress on this idea I had a while back. All construction is complete, and with the exception of rebuilding my first take at...

Good lord I'm addicted to checking this thread for updates. Everything looks awesome. Love the occasional dash of electronics thrown in now. Keep up the awesome work
