Great looking place!

Thanks! I was going for the carriage house look to match our old house

My garage went up this summer. The first set of overhead doors we ordered were cancelled by the manufacturer after being ordered for a month. The second set from a different manufacturer took around 3 months for delivery.

Id have the sashes restored. They probably don't open and close well because of built up paint. You'll spend less money and get another 25 years out of it instead of hoping to get 20 out of a replacement.

Until you have to heat it, cool it, tile the floor,......

I went with a smallish 30x24. I chose block stem wall, 2x6 construction, and quality windows over a larger pole building or metal building. At this point in life I want quality stuff over quantity of stuff.

Amber shellac all the way. Stains will look blotchy on pine. Shellac is a great old school finish that will let the wood darken with age

Pipefitter here....3 wraps of tape and then pipe dope. Never just tape.

I went this route so I didn't take up any interior space

Maybe I'm the one missing the point, but aren't building permits there to make sure the building is built to a set of codes and standards? Required or not, I wouldn't want to spend my money on something not up to standards.

Thats why most people use kiln dried lumber

Thank you! The notion we "pad" our bid is silly. The amount of time (money) we spend putting a price together for a job is more than most would think. To pad that price and not get the job is money lost.
