I was able to get out for a few hours yesterday after the rain stopped and get the siding up on both ends, the front door cut (7' tall x 6' wide) and get the front gable end framed and sided. Today I was able to get out for a few hours this morning at get the back gable end framed and sided...

Hi all, Just signed up, I'm going to be remodeling my garage over the next few months and I'll need information! I also have a little experience doing remodeling and building various things (boats, mostly) so I hope to contribute some as well. Looking forward to good information exchange!
