I really like this project! How is the baby doing? Our first baby is 3 months old, less garage time for sure.

Nice job. I noticed the table saw--I've had the same one since 1998. The legs keep wobbling and I sometimes wish I had a fancier one, but this one just doesn't die.

I've remodeled two houses and put in some 3000 square feet of wood flooring through it, not to mention ripping strips for two medium sized-boats and whatever else I've needed it for. Pretty decent accuracy still.

But back to the topic, great workspace after all this time.

my uncle actually just gave me that table saw, I haven't used it yet but I already like it for the cost $0.

Wow! Nice transformation. I like the wood trim and exposed rafters.

When I was your age I would contract with local farmers to fix sagging out buildings built on stone piers. First I would build temporary timber framing inside. Similar to what you did. Then slowly jack the building up, till it was about 6 to 8" off the piers. Then dig out full depth footers and pour walls. Once it was hard, then slowly set the building back down after it had hung about a week with come-a-longs and cross jacks pushing and pulling the walls back straight. Once it was down and secured, then remove all evidence of the re-work!
All in All, I really like the exposed beams and wood trim on your project garage!
