I don't get a lot of light from the windows. I came up with the idea myself. I wasn't too worried about the amount of light although the sun is on one side almost all day I was given two big shop lights that I will install at a later time. I don't need it now with the weather changing but I...

Sort of. We've had a few break-ins over the last couple of years in the neighborhood. I haven't been hit by the low life thugs though. I just wanted something secure so I can keep stuff safe.

As promised. Here are a few pics from today's work. The finished front trim. For the windows I used some plexiglass and some bars for the windows. It looks pretty good when I was holding some trim pieces up to it. The trim pieces will be dry tomorrow and ready to put up. To secure the bars...

Thanks. I've seen a few videos on YouTube for garage door installations. It doesn't look too hard.

Thanks:thumbup:

Short update for the week. The weather has been outstanding this week. Not too hot, not too cold. Dry. Perfect for working outside. I installed one of the windows on one side, measured and cut all of the trim for the windows and corner trim, and I am currently waiting for the primer to dry on...

Correct. I had some shingles left over from a previous job. I thought It would look much better with shingles on the overhang instead of the rolled roofing.

Yeah, ain't that the truth. Much rather do it now than in the cold. The neighbor's garage is in worse shape than mine. Its not leaning nearly as bad as mine was but all of the sills are rotted out. The roof has caved in. It is the same flat design as mine is but it is a 2 car garage. The...

Its been a little while since my last update. The weather wasn't much help early in the week, but we did have some nice weather after the rains were done. We ran into a little roadblock with the roof. It turns out that the goof balls that did the roof before only put felt paper on half of the...

Thanks, good idea too. A helping hand from the Mrs. is always nice. Especially when I feel confident she can do things on her own.

I didn't have much time to do a lot this weekend. The overhang is not sheathed yet. The bottom has been cut to size and has a coat of primer. I do plan on adding some 2x4's across it. I did manage to strengthen the roof over the weekend though. I added some 2x4's to each seam in between the roof...

Hi Captain 14. The trim is behind the brick mold. I tried it with the trim next to the brick mold and it just didn't look right. It actually turned out better behind it.

Looking at the before pictures and where I am now, I can't believe it either.

Thanks :)

Thank you

My wife added a second coat of paint to the garage door sections. I added the door locks to the man door. I need to get supplies this weekend to continue.....stay tuned :)

Its raining today so I'm just going to take inventory on the materials that I have and what I will need. While at work today the paint fairy showed up and put a second coat of paint on the man door and a coat on the garage door sections:headscrat. Just kidding, my wife painted them this morning...

Can you post a pic? Maybe someone can come up with some ideas.

:beer: lmao

Sections of the new door with a coat of primer(4th section is on another table drying).
