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".

Paint Party

The framers finished up yesterday, and the siding/boxing/trimout crew comes in on Monday to finish the weather sealing. My "particular" side (AR, as Malia would say) came out when it became clear the framers weren't concerned with installing the Tyvek and flashing to manufacturer specs. Joseph agreed with me completely, and the finish guys are now lined up to take care of it.

We picked up 9 gallons of primer today - we have somewhere around 3000-4000 square feet of cedar and cypress siding surface to prime. We're about 6-7 hours, and 2 gallons, in now. What are YOUR plans for the holiday weekend?!
