Been a lurker for a while, finally joined.
Built a 24x26 with an 11.5 x 24 attic up top.
Bought a house a couple of years ago, partially because the backyard looked like this.
Just a row of shrubs and a sidewalk to remove.
Start of the pad.
Had run pex for infloor heat, and insulated it.
Built the shell, strapped the roof.
Finished the roof, had the overhead doors installed.
Ran some conduit to backfeed the house, and the telephone service. Pretty much the end of outdoor work that year.
Over winter insulated, drywalled, painted, hung lights etc.
Winter is LONG up here.
Putted around in the attic.
Start of hardi-plank siding hell. Very time consuming doing it solo.
So here is how it stands now.
Did everything myself, except for the concrete and overhead doors.
Spent 35k, had many, many squabbles with the wife, stuffed it full of junk, and I'm nowhere near finished.
Wouldn't trade it for the world.
Really really want to finish the exterior and parking pad this year. Always alot to do.
