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".

Waitin' on wood

The big downside of using a not-so-popular-anymore siding profile is that when the lumber yard runs out, they quite literally need to go cut more trees down. So, short something like 30 boards, we are a week and a half into a 2-3 week holding pattern. Looks like we may get the remainder next Weds, though, and then I get to do more priming. Hopefully the heat will break before then!

I've got a bunch of caulking and a bit of trim painting to do in the meantime, but the end of this phase is in sight! Then the fun stuff - wiring, lift install, etc....
