got some more work to the cabinets done.
Only took me a month after Photobucket hosed us to get motivated to re upload everything to imageshack and fix all of the links in this thread. Not much going on this summer been busy with work and house projects. Did get the bumper for the truck built, link to that in my signature but give me a couple days to fix the pics in that one.

Garage is looking good, just wondering yours is 25 feet deep, I'm getting ready to buid a 24x40, are you happer with your 24 ft depth, I know its an odd question, id like to get some insite from others who have a similar depth..
I would go 30 on the depth. I have a ecsb Sierra and it barely fit with the 2' wide workbench on the back wall and still be able to walk around one end, in pretty sure it was less than 12". I don't think i would have any room to get around it with the new bumper if I could even close the door.
Very slowly progressing. Been busy the last few weeks and haven't had the time/ funds to move as fast on this as I wanted too. Hopefully be setting trusses this weekend.
Picked up some used corrugated sheet metal for $150 that should be enough to cover both mine and my neighbors shed roofs.

Nice score on the metal roofing! Which framing nailer did you get? I rented a battery powered Dewalt to build my garage and it was awesome! 3 days of rent and I got a ton done. I should have just bought it... I was not sure how long the batteries would last but it was pretty cool... I will just buy an air nailer though way less $.

Is the shed next to the garage or house? I hate to see the blocked windows from the new shed.
How Much of the garage contents will find a new Home in the shed?

Behind the garage. All of the kids toys, lawn equipment and hopefully the woodworking tools. Hoping once everything is moved in and organized there will be enough room to set it up as the wood shop. Then keep the automotive and metalworking stuff in the garage. Being able to get 2 cars in it for the first time since we bought the house

You're making good progress and it's a really nice design building. That extra storage space in the attic will be nice.

Wow, looking great with siding and doors on.

Doors look good from here. Did you get to prime the back of the trim so it doesn’t rot away?
Or do you have access to a metal brake for the trim aluminum?
I primed all of my trim prior to installation and it’s still good today 25 years later.
My fathers shed has trim that has basically rotted away. Go figure, I think it was built by a shed building outfit.

Really like your work on things!
Garage is progressing nicely and the storage shed is super sweet as well!

So if you caulk all the joints and seams of all the trim , the back side won’t get wet and start to rot away?
No questioning but just asking. I’ve always painted all 6 sides of trim out of habit.
Thanks

Well it's been a while now. Any updates? I have been enjoying following your build.
Got the dog door and kennel attached to the side of the shed. Finished moving stuff around and doing some organizing. Been hard to get motivated to do stuff outside with this. Bi-polar Ohio weather. Need to get the shed wired so I can get the radial arm saw and table saw moved out there and make room for more stuff in the garage.

The last picture above shows an antennae behind the brick garage.
Is that yours and if so is it a TV antennae? How far away can you get clear reception?
Sorry about the upstairs bathroom leak.

That’s my parents house. It used to be a tv antenna but they switched to cable years ago and the antenna itself broke. Now it’s just a 30’ tower with a 15’ cb antenna on top. I still have an antenna at home. I can get clear reception from stations 50+ miles away.

Did some cleaning today and hung a couple of the Milwaukee chargers on the peg board. Have a couple new additions as well. Picked up an HF sandblasting cabinet for $100 off of letgo and scored a smaller bandsaw in perfect condition, will use it for my kydex holsters and smaller projects until I get the big craftsman repaired.
