Underway on New Garage

[Tsunami]

Well, we are well underway on getting the new home and garage built. We got a good long break for in the weather. House is framed, under roof with shingles going on as I type this in. The new garage is a 36X60 with 1 -14X12 door, 2 -10X8's and a service door in between them. The foundation was poured about a month ago with provisions for water and a center drain in the center bay with about a 12 radius to have the water fall to center. Will post additional photos was progress occurs. Still stressing over lighting, electrical outlets, window placement, and storage.

Foundation complete and gravel back-fill with center bay drain and water line installed. More to follow

Floor poured, almost 6 inch thick. Garage door opening are sloped outward so water will not run into garage. There will be a a 10 foot over hang on front of garage with a 20 foot apron to park on. Apron will be poured later.

Let the framing begin. Got a break from the weather and framing moved quick. Still have to make the color selection.

Framing continues and trusses arrive. Trusses are 46 foot long. Took a couple hours to get them set in place.

Got the Boss testing the floor drain, while getting the Audi clean. Two birds with one stone.

Well, got all but the two other vehicles in. I'll have to put a 4-post lift in the far corner for the 40 Ford, not here yet, and put the 54 Chevy P-up under it.
