Yes I can't wait to get started on the inside! Might not be until this winter though It's a 67 squareback! Fun little car

Here's my driveway. Do you notice anything different? There's no more bus! We moved the bus to better spot out in the country, wjere its not taking up my valuable driveway space. Johnny can hack and weld and grind and cut on it all he wants out there, without ******* off my wife. Together...

That is why I am not putting in a gutter on the backside, where there is a large walnut tree and a large hackberry tree. But on the front side (in the pictures) there are no trees, and I also really need to carry the water away from that area.

Exterior is finished!! Reminder of what it looked like less than a year ago: Site-built attic vent: Some of the overhang detail: I am going to add gutters, I just wanted to share pics before they're on because, IMO, it looks better without them Now I need to start thinking about the...

I put on the last bit of paint yesterday, pics are coming soon!

I spent way too much time on this attic vent, but at least it looks good. Once I finish painting some of the trim and adding gutters, then I will be done with the exterior!

Rant time! I'm getting a lot less time to work on this project. I get off work at 5pm, dinner is ready around 6 or 7pm and then I have to do the dishes and walk the dogs after dinner. And after that it is dark. So I'm only getting one or two hours to work on the garage per week day. And at this...

It was kind of just a spontaneous idea. The grey matches our house color, but I would really like to add some more color to the house. We've been thinking about painting the house too but I knew I wouldn't get to that this year. And I had to paint the garage the same color as the house to pass...

Thanks! Yes we are pretty much all ready for him to enter the world and he could come any day now. Mom is hoping he comes a few weeks early because she is exhausted, but I'm secretly hoping he stays in there until I'm finished with the garage!

Thank you so much everyone!

Here's the back sides that I've never shared I don't think. I saved one of the old doors to reuse as a gate. Still painting everything of course, and finishing the trim work.

Haven't had time for an update lately, been too busy! Only a few weeks to go now and I still haven't started on the electrical

Perfect! That is what I'll use too.

Just finished installing the siding. Here's where I'm at in my to-do list: remove tree & grind away stumps ✅ remove old fence and put in something temporary ✅ repair old garage foundation ✅ get approval from city ✅ rent a mini excavator ✅ dig footing trench and move driveway material around...

Looking good, Chris! What underground wire did you use? The very next thing on my to do list is digging and installing the wire to my detached garage that I'm building. I might only need 60 amps max, but like you I have a 200 amp panel at the house and use less then 100amps.

Yes, exactly! I first installed the catches for the door knob and dead bolt into the jamb to match the old hardware in the door. Then after I replaced them with the new hardware, it suddenly didn't line up as well. Then I installed the weather stripping and that changed everything again! The...

I've been busting my *** off to try and get this workshop done before the baby gets here in mid October. Last weekend I installed the windows: Of course now that they are in, I wish I went with bigger ones. Next up, the man door. First thing I did was cut out the opening in the vapor...

thanks!

I love your drawings So you needed to apply for a permit yet the local government doesn't require one for sheds smaller than 200 sqft? Doesn't make sense to me but I can understand that! I'm building a 12x16 shed/workshop but it's attached to my (detached) garage. It's less than 200 sqft but...

I took a few weeks off from this project to work on other projects (bathroom) and to do some hiking, but I'm back. The tar paper was not holding up as well as expected and when it rained 4" in one night, the garage floor was less than dry. So I decided to do the roof shingles before moving on to...
