Here is the first pour on my driveway. It was 10 yards and is 26' wide. I had enough saved up to do the entire driveway but 12 days after I got back from Iraq my home heat pump went out. Guess where my driveway money went :( I had a little left over so I decided to go ahead and at least pour the...

Holy old thread batman. I just got back from my (Iraq)deployment in August. I'll be adding a few more pics in the days to come. I've since poured the first 10 yards of the driveway, finished the siding and am doing finish work on the inside. This has been a big project for me to do by myself...

My DG is not finished yet but I have already began parking the toys/non DD in it along with some odds and ends. Here is mine tucked in for the night. I just thought I had an old bike till I seen some of the stuff in this thread. and the obligatory glory shot from the tail of the dragon...

Been a while since I posted but I have been busy with work. I got a bit of progress to report. Siding is going on little by little, by me of course. This is my first time working with vynil siding. Got my buddy to come over and give me a 30 minute lesson and off I went. Its going slow but I'm...

No one but you can make the decision to pull the trigger. I know its tough. I started my 28x32 detached last August but I had already planned to do %90 of the work myself. I was able to save some on materials. Good thing too cause it turns out I dont know how to properly estimate materials...

Whew, and I thought 2 dozen yards was alot. Of course that was just my pad but still!!!!! Looks great. I wish I had found this place sooner too. Coulda saved me some work and $$.

Funny you should mention that :spit: I spent a few year in the Civil Engineering squadron before crosstraining to military police. My commander knows this. When we moved into a new building there was alot of work left to do...guess who got tasked :wtf: Pulling cat5, drywall, hanging...

Here are some pics from today. The left bay looking outwards. I have some of my race rubber stacked in the corner. The same bay, just turn 180deg. Thats a recliner under the plastic thats going upstairs when I get it done. This is the bay with 15 foot ceilings that I plan to have lift in the...

I purchased and installed both my Clopay 9x7s with the extention springs myself. Just took my time, read the instructions(mostly), and held off on the beer till done. Charles, good catch on the safety cables. I still need to add mine

Edited 7 October to add pictures/updated progress. Just found the site through another member and :beer: love it. I'm in the middle of a detached 32Wx28D shop. I'm doing this on a (USAF) StaffSgt budget so I have to do the work myself or I couldnt afford it. Aside from putting the shingles...

Every little bit helps. I started my detached garage project late August. I'm doing all the work my self so while its been slow going, its fun to see it come along and lumber has dropped since I began. FWIW, 1/2" OSB is $5.65 a sheet here last time I checked. Studs are under 2 bucks now.

Just saying howdy. Interesting site you have here. I'm sure I'll be able to gain some useful information and perhaps share a bit of my own.
