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".

Progress

The job manager brought in a crew today to get things rolling, after he and another guy spent the better part of the last few days working out the details for installation of this siding, fixing the boxing and trimming out the windows so they work with the siding profile.

Made some good progress today, though, and the crew is coming back tomorrow to keep it rolling.

The roofer comes back Monday to pull the outer course of shingles off all three outer roof lines to get the overlap fixed - he just didn't leave enough to work with, even if we left the drip edge off. Hopefully the builder was able to source more shingles - as they've been discontinued and we barely got the ones we have here. Starting to come together, though!
