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".

Steel by noon



As promised, the framers showed up at 8am today. They got busy right away, and by 9:10am they were hoisting the first wall up!






At ~1:30, the crane showed up from the steel company and made quick work of dropping the 18" steel beam onto the framed up walls. The guys then spent the rest of the afternoon working details. Impressive progress for 1 day of framing!

    OMG! Looking at the pics with the workers on the slab put the size of this G-word into perspective...BIG. Yup, my house would fit inside with no problem, honestly.
