Hey all. I'm a newbie here. I posted an intro earlier in the month, but wanted to post a pic of my new digs.

Its been a long time coming. I've been workingout of a 8x10 shed for 3 years and finally got the scratch together to build a 24x36 in the back yard.

I got some muscle to help shovel concrete (finished it myself), lift the assembled walls into place, and sling shingles. Other than that, I have done the entire project myself. I've never attempted anything like this before, but I think it is turning out ok.

Future plans call for paint and electricity.

All told, my total investment will come in just shy of 9k. Not bad huh?

If it were my garage, I wouild not paint that nice wood. Stain it. seal it. But keep that nice natural look.

Nice size -- I like the palcement of the overhead door. Is there a pedistrian door on the right side wall out of sight?

Looks to be a nice play room.

I had to paint it. I wanted it to match the house, since it sits right next to it. I thought about sealing/staining, but I already had some paint left from the house.

The siding is t-111 plywood.

My garage door came in Friday night, So I installed it Saturday and painted the garage Saturday.

The only thing left is the electricity.

Nice job there. T111 will last longer if you can seal the bottom edge. It tends to wick on the bottom edge.

It holds up well for years with a yearly coat of stain, but if you slip for a couple of years it will start to disentegrate from the bottom up.
