hey Carl, your getting alot done. I have to laugh about your comment that things are going slowly forward. I hear ya, we are on the melting side too, 4-6 degrees C for daytime high. I managed to get the sanding of the second coat of drywall compound done. hopefully prime and paint this weekend.

I also noticed in one of your pictures how much stuff accumulates inside the garage as you work on it. I bought castors and built 2 4x8 rolling platforms works perfect. I too have the same thing happening with my stuff in the garage.

You mentioned you will be wiring the garage to the house in the spring, funny,...... me too. Have to wait til the ground thaws out

Great updates all the same. slow and steady wins the race.

Hey,

For mysterious reason, I dind't get an email about having an update on my thread... anyway sorry for the delay!

It's been pretty busy lately and a lot of stuff is getting done in the garage... I did take a quick look at your thread and you have some really nice work going on!

Yep, stuff gets tossed in the garage and there's no way to stop that unfortunately... I hate it but I just have to live with it and move the stuff when it's in the way.

As for the wiring... we should be starting this next week end! :)

Thanks for the comments! ;)


I will get more updates later tonight...

It's been a while since my last update but some work got done! :)

Gypsum is almost all finished on all of the wall, the only one missing is the part where the electrical panel is! Gotta wait till it's all wired...

Did start on the floor installation by putting up some ceramic tiles under the fireplace!

As for wiring...well I wired all the alarm system and also added speaker wires in the wall at the two back wall corners!

The installation of gypsum as started on the ceiling!

Now, picture time...
