Why "The G-Word"?

Prior to this project actually breaking ground, the word Garage had become something of a 6-lettered swear word in our family. You see, we bought this house ~5 years ago only after I had verified that the setbacks and septic were ok to support building this garage. I've built foam core models in 1:20 scale; I've spent hundreds of hours playing with various designs with home CAD software.; I've studied neighborhood covenants, code books, and educated myself on proper building techniques. And through this all, and much to my wife's dismay, I've been talking about this experience to the point of driving those closest to me nuts. So, since around the beginning of this year, when I really started to get this ball rolling, this garage has been affectionately referred to as "The G-word".

Drained

Foundation waterproofing tar was applied yesterday and drainage pipe installed. They came back this morning to finish up the backfilling. After some back and forth, I had them cut the elevation down on the left side of the garage a bit to ease parking of my truck and trailer on that side.

Also got them to fill a low spot off the steps of the deck, and create a couple berms to help with drainage from the neighbor's property. It's not much to look at right now (after all, it's just dirt), but it's coming together.

Slab work starts Monday!
