Need a little help here. Trying to upload pictures and got a missing security token message. Not sure what that means. Anyone have any suggestions?

Looks like the pine trees were cut into mill lengths. Will you be using "native" lumber in your build?

For the record, pine trees belong in forests. They are too messy for yard trees.

No native wood in the build. It was actually picked up with a logging truck and "donated" to a guy who does chain saw carvings. I agree on the no pine trees in the yard. We've still got about ten more that need to go. Working on this adding photos thing. We actually have the beginnings of a garage now!

The garage guardians like the wall. Gets them closer to the top of the fence. Strangers are scared to death. Pretty funny for two dogs in coats

Finally only three years into the making - foundation in and being backfilled

Good thing we had these hard working boys around. Good out of the gate but not much for stamina.

Good friends, hard days work, having a beer (OK maybe a few beers) That was fall 2010. It snowed four days later. Will start again spring 2011

Will add photos as things happen. Also will have photos of existing garage #1 and #2 that are attached to the house.

Re: Are three garages enough?

The answer to your question is that 3 is too many. If you are ANYTHING like me, you won't be able to find stuff in 1 that you know you have and you'll spend all your time looking for it! :lol_hitti

Looks like a good build...

Yep, fixed! Build looks good, I like the outside 2nd floor access. Will that be finished space or storage?
