My driveway is now so completely torn up that we've decided to just take it out (more $$$). On the good side, we've started with the siding.

The door is complete. I have to give a big "Thank You" to the guys at Gilpin Glass in Indianapolis! DJ, James, and Zach, did a great job on the installation.

Door is half done. They should finish today. .

haha - yeah the flip-flops were a nice touch. I guess it's hard to have anything land on your toes when you're standing on the top of the build. He had boots on the next day.

Yeah, we looked at a lot of options, and some companies were 2-3X the cost of what we settled on. We just hated the idea of sliding doors where 30-50% of the opening was still going to be closed off. BTW - Love that propeller fan blade.

A couple big days coming up. Over the weekend, the basic electrical (just enough to satisfy inspection) and my two exhaust fans went in: one fan on the garage side for fumes, and one on the pool side for cigar smoke. Today windows and the glass door are going in. It's a 14' five panel...

Trusses and roof decking are up. It's been a bad week to be out of state for work, but I'm at the airport and headed home to a new building that wasn't there Monday morning.

Not much happening this week. Four good days of weather but a delay in the plumbing permit, and finally got it roughed in on Wednesday. About two hours work, and half of it was off by 18”. Now we’re waiting again. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1AFqkCeGty/?mibextid=wwXIfr

More progress - foundation walls are poured. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1XPG5pKGcy/

The walls are getting poured tomorrow. Right now, it looks more like a pool than a garage.

Things are underway. Started digging yesterday, and poured the footings today. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/161nQ1Xg6t/

Northwest side, between Z-ville and Eagle Creek.

Floor plans and drawings.

This is what I expect it to look like after

Day One - Today is the start of my 28 X 40 garage and pool house combo. I've gleaned a lot of helpful info from this site, so I'll document what I can and welcome any comments. Today, we're just tearing down the existing shed, and I'm giving a look at the location where we'll build. The...

Skooter and 2580 - thanks for your replies. That confirms what my contractor just presented me with. Apples-to-apples, pre-finishing adds about 35-55%. I'm finding the nickel gap to be 15-20% higher than the lap, and the shake to be a little higher than that. Specifically, I'm looking at in...
