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".

Almost....

So we're getting there. Right side, back wall, and 3/4 of the front wall siding was finished today. Unfortunately, we're starting to run short on wood. The bad news is that this means we need to buy more, and the worse news is that this means we have a bunch more priming to do. 2 Gallons worth, at least.


The builder did find a few more bundles of our shingles so they can fix the roof. He mentioned that there are 3 bundles left after these. Total. Hope we don't need many more!





We're trying to figure out garage doors now.... I think we're going to at least get these ones priced - note that this is a hacked image so we could play with garage door styles - it's NOT a real photo!
