Its not an ultimate garage....yet !

[Scott Winebarger]

OK, We got the truss finished today, they are ready for nose boards and sheeting tomorrow. Just a few more days and this thread will die for a while while I reboot the $$$$$$$ supply.

 

[67HEAVEN]

Scott,

Very nice. You're approaching a milestone, when it'll be closed to the weather. Congratulations.

 

[Scott Winebarger]

Sheeting is going on !

Its going to snow tomorrow night , if the weatherman gets it right !

 

[Scott Winebarger]

We got most of the soffit up, the sheeting is finished and the siding is on except for the battons. The garage doors are scheduled for Monday(yeah right). The roofing should start Monday , weather permitting. I added 5 more photos to the Garage Album.

 

[Scott Winebarger]

Sorry for the dark pic.s , It was a late day. The doors got cased with cedar today and the roofing has started. Weatherman is calling for nasty stuff tonight and tomorrow. Can you smell all that cedar yet?

Scott,

Things are looking good.

Scott,

Things are looking good.

You guys will have to come over sometime when its finished !!

 

[67HEAVEN]

Scott,

You've got the world's largest "cedar chest".

It looks fantastic.

 

[Toms007]

OK, not to be a smart @ss here, but technically cedar chests are made from aromatic, otherwise known as, eastern red cedar (which truly isn't a cedar at all but a juniper, but that's another story) and the type of cedar used in the construction as we see in Scott's garage is western red cedar. They both have great insect resisting properties, and both have some aromatic qualities as well, but completely different species.

Sorry for the interruption.........back to your regularly scheduled program. Oh and the garage is looking great! I am jealous.

 

[Scott Winebarger]

Suzy already picked up on that. The worlds biggest cedar toy box :L

Thanks Tom,

It sure does smell good.

Its Saturday and they are working !!
Trim and battons have started going on and the guys are on the roof, calling for rain again Monday. Garage doors next week ?

 

[Tom Bryant]

Got to love it when the roof goes on. No more water inside.

 

[Scott Winebarger]

Yes ! They are finishing up the roof as I type and the trim too. Just in time for the rain and 40 mph winds today and the snow tomorrow, and then more snow later in the week. Come on garage doors!

The house is clean, the cat litter is dipped :bash


I am scared of her and I don't care who knows it !

 

[Scott Winebarger]

OK guys here it is, The Contractor is finished . I spoke with the garage door people, they say this week. I added about 10 photos to the album
I think it fits in well with the property, I thought it was going to be way too big for a while there. Suzy already said we need more house to go with the garage. The new pic.s in the album show some more detail of the siding and roof now.

I will post a couple more when the garage doors are installed and that will probably be it untill it warms up enough to stain the cedar and work on the inside more.

 

[Tom Bryant]

Nice. I think that it matches very well.

 

[67HEAVEN]

Excellent. A design and a job to be proud of.

 

[JohnGrawcock]

Fits right in. Good job.
