    Ok. I'll try to get some pics today but it is similar to this pic I got from the internet. The man door is just pretty much standard.

    He actually poked his head out of his window the other day and told me what a great job we're doing. He said he can't believe the difference from when we started to where we are now.

    Do you want some pics of the framing for the new overhang? Or the door framing with headers?

    Hi Captain14. Yes it was the prehung 32" door with brickmold from HD for $141. For the front overhang I'm using plywood and some of the wood siding I have left over from the back of the garage.

    Been a little slow over the holiday weekend. We had some nice cookouts and some fire pits(helps get rid of some bad lumber :)We did manage to get a few things done. The overhang is framed in. I picked up some boards for the trim and a new door. Added a coat of primer and its ready for some paint.

    LOL. Scary. I think if I would have cut down the tree the garage was leaning on it would have came down with the tree.

    Yeah, I was just talking to my neighbor and we decided to put a full length overhang across the front. I like the idea of recessed lighting. Thanks for the idea. I may put them in at a later time but for now I want to install a motion light.

    We were thinking of putting an overhang across the entire front of the garage. I haven't decided on it yet. I've noticed other garages similar to mine have an overhang. Just wondering why mine doesn't.

    It was way too hot and humid today to do anything but yesterday we managed to get more done. My camera battery died yesterday so I took some pics today. We tore out the man door header and replaced it. My wife and son put a coat of paint on the back and the sides of the garage to match the...

    Pretty busy over the weekend. I'll be glad to get back to work so I can rest:p. I did an oil change on my truck, rotated the tires, and adjust the alignment since I just put new struts on myself a few days ago. After I was done with the truck I turned my attention back to my garage. I tore out...

    Did some more work to the garage. I cut down the trees that were next to the garage. Here are some pics of the tree that was growing with the garage. The 1st pick is from my initial post. The 2nd is after I chopped it down and killed it. I managed to finish the siding yesterday. My wife and...
