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".

Welcome to Bus Terminal C

The crew had the right side gable up by 9 this morning, with the rafters up shortly after. Most the sheeting was up by noon. One of the rear roof sections is already roofed, too!






This thing looks like a bus terminal still, though, since they haven't finished the wall areas over where the garage doors will be.








Pretty happy with how the right side came out though - the scale is pretty well in check and the nook does a decent job bringing the scale of that wall down - at least that's what I'm telling myself!




They expect to be mostly finished up tomorrow - and that probably includes installing the windows and doors that came late today. Can't wait to see it tomorrow!
