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".

Shingles First?

June 3, 2010: The Shingles are the first materials on site. No, this isn't poor planning - these special type shingles we put on our house just 4+ years ago have been discontinued due to GAF buying out ELK, and the GAF-branded replacements are also being discontinued now as well. Better buy them while we can!

Enough of this planning stuff... time to see this thing take shape!

    Hi Dustin, You should add the story on the ant infestation from the shingles. It's an interesting tidbit.
