I have hardiboard on my house and as far as maintenance there is very little. power wash occasionally. the only down side I have found is being concrete based it retains heat very well-too much in my climate. you need extra insulation, especially on the western exposure. don't think that is a problem in ohio I guess. on your addition. nothing would look good except matching siding imho. especially when seeing how well you wifes place turned out.

The roof is on, and the windows are in :rocker::rocker::rocker::rocker::rocker:

Just a word of advice.....DO NOT buy the Pella vinyl windows that Lowes carry in stock. They are junk. But we have them installed, and that is where they are going to stay. The window frames when standing back and looking at them are frowny faced, and the window sash is smiley faced. So when the window is closed, the bottom of the sash is up higher in the corners and barely seals. I am gong to take the one sash back and see if Lowes will make it right. If it wasn't for the fact that the windows are already in, I would have taken them both back.

Now all I have to do is order my cedar siding, some trim materials, and my garage doors, and the garage will be mostly finished other than for the inside, which will be all on me, or whoever I hire :thumbup:

I'll get some pics here in a little while, and a pic of my Fastenal score for $20. All sorts of different nuts and bolts. I bought their scrap barrel again. Definitely more than $20 worth of nuts and bolts.

In for the pics as well.

With all the issues you have run into getting this far I'm sure that you are happy to have a dry space.

Great progress, next we'll be seeing inside work.

No inside work until the outside is completely finished, including the lawn. I hate having the lawn tore up, and have been careful not to tear it up too much, but I want to get the siding on, and the lawn tilled up, and seeded. The inside will be my Fall/Winter project. And no.....Fall is not that far away.:sad:

And I can't wait until it's all put together :lol:

I have to order my siding tomorrow so I can get underway with that. Also tomorrow we are going to form up for the sidewalks and apron. Once those are poured, we can get back on the soffit and fascia and get those replaced and up. The soffit and fascia should go pretty quick though.

I did get a price on some insulated doors, and also have another guy coming tomorrow to check things out and double check the door size for a quote. The first guy was $2150 for (2) Clopay insulated doors. The price I got from the guy coming tomorrow was $2033 for (2) Raynor Buildmark Insulated doors. Both doors arte 10'x x 8' tall with the upper panel having windows in them. And just your standard raised white panel door. Both guys stated that they would have to order the doors as they don't carry that size in stock.

Aside from the doors, fascia material and soffits, and the siding, the garage is basically done. Just a little outside work to clean things up, then it's up to me to do the inside. Oh, and I have to call for the framing inspection which will also be the final inspection. The siding doesn't have to be inspected. The Inspector told me he would do the framing and final all in one since there is nothing done on the inside yet.

Then once on the inside, I have to get an Electrical permit so I can start on the wiring. I may just hire an electrician to do it, but I'll mount the boxes and pull the wire myself, or at least get Ashton to help me out with some of that. I do have to figure out where I want my lights, and also what kind of lights I want, and where I want my switches. In the bumpout, I am going to just mount some can lights in the ceiling. Probably 5 or six of them for the 24' run. Seeing that the depth is only 7', I won't need too many, but I still want it bright enough to see in the toolboxes and cabinets. The rest of the garage, I am also thinking canned lights, but on multiple switches. But that's all a few weeks down the road. With the help of members, I'll probably change my mind a dozen times when it comes to lighting :lol_hitti

Looking good! Any thoughts on non insulated doors and insulating them yourself? No idea if that'd save you any money.

Why did you choose doors with windows? I covered mine up with insulation and left a couple access panels if I wanted light. One panel removed makes my garage noticeably warmer, so I usually leave it covered.

Just curious on your thought process.

As far as the insulated vs. non insulated, I just didn't want to mess with insulating the doors myself, so I went with insulated.

As far as windows in the doors, I will need some light in the garage as I only will have two windows in that space. That is one reason I decided to do away with the overhang as it would take away too much light. And the windows will be in the top panel of an 8' door, so if someone wants to look in, they had better be really tall.

so Kevin, how do you store your bolts and nuts?

I have a Lista knockoff cabinet, and a bunch of Plano parts bins. Now all I have to do is get things sorted. :lol:

I love it :lol_hitti

Sidewalks are in. Just got the forms off yesterday, and was waiting for some topsoil this morning, but guess what.........RAIN!!!!!:lol: It is supposed to clear up later today, and I'll probably get it tomorrow.

On the other hand, garage doors are ordered and will be here next week. Cedar siding is ordered and will be here tomorrow. So I have a long weekend of staining 1900 sq. ft. of siding.:( Also we are going to break up some metal tomorrow and start in on the trim (fascia) and then get the "F" channel and soffits up. Getting close to done, then it is all up to me to finish up the inside. Looking forward to getting the outside done and some grass back in the yard.:thumbup:

Great job on the sidewalks!:thumbup:
Click to expand...

Thanks. The curved sidewalk goes from the garage to the sidewalk beside the house. This is an area we always take a shortcut through the lawn to go from the garage to the front of the house or visa versa. So I figured I would put a walk in there. We can now go around the house, to the wifes building and to the garage and back to the front of the house without ever stepping in the grass. And all of the walks are curves except for the one from the overhang of the garage to the apron, and the other walk from the back of the house to the garage. I thing curved walks just add a little character to the property :dunno:
