Continued working on the T&G ceiling this weekend. Went as high as we could on the south side with 2 levels of scaffolding. Then went to the north side. Few more rows Togo and then we will put up a 3rd level and finish the center. A lot of work but it’s worth it. Sent from my iPhone using...

Hahaha isnt that the truth!

Yeah I went back and forth on it, mainly because of cost. But if you just insulate the slabs and run the pex now I can buy the rest of the system later.

Started putting up the ceiling in the main room this weekend. It was a slow start to figure out the placement of the first corse and how the trim would be installed but once we got that figured out it went well. The wood looks really good and I’m very happy with it. It takes a little work to...

House is insulated and vapor barrier put up. Now waiting to prep the basement for infloor heat, plumbing and cement. The pine T&G for the ceiling is getting delivered today. I need to start prepping it for a couple coats of clear before I install it. It’s moving right along. Sent from my...

Yes we survived! Progress on the build came to a screeching halt with the below 0 degrees F temperatures for about 2 weeks. All things considered this has been a very mild Winter for us. The custom windows for the lake side have been delayed a few weeks and is preventing us from getting the...

Progress came to a halt for the last 2 weeks. We had a cold snap and been below 0 Degrees F most days. I think we got down to -25 degrees F. It is suppose to start warming up this week and early next week. The remaining windows and doors came in so we can get the house sealed up and then the...

Rough in is happening on the utilities and the build site got cleaned up which was awesome because it was getting bad. I got a few good pictures of the whole project. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

I have been working on my garage wiring layout and this takes sometime and I keep second guessing myself. I want all the wiring in the walls for a nice clean look. I also want to future proof the garage for additional equipment. My final solution is about 20 120V locations and some being 1 gang...

Yeah I tried to get a picture without it but then it didn't show the entire build. Its a hard place to take pictures of because its 114' long with the deck and the lot is 100' wide. The big room will have pine tongue and groove on the ceiling so that will really finish it out. Yes we cant...

We also got the deck framed in. It’s 10’x36’ and connects to the porch. I wish i would have made it 16’ deep but then if I had that I would want it 20’ deep. It never ends and I know that, so I’m just excited to have a big deck. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

This build is going so fast I can’t believe it. In 5 weeks a 3 man crew is already putting in windows. Framer said they would are a week behind due to the weather. We have really lucked out with the weather this year. Haven’t had any days below 0 degrees Fahrenheit. We have got a lot of snow...

I will have to measure them but I think they are 16" tall LVLs doubled up and they run the whole length of the garage. Thanks!

I have had a few people ask me if I’m building a church since the vaulted area is so large! I’m really happy how it is turning out and we have some really great views. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal
