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".

Heights


Only when you climb a ladder just to get you high enough to get on another ladder, does the height really come into picture.














And here's what she looks like (admittedly less picture perfect with the overspray on the trimwork, but that will be remedied soon). These actually weren't the windows we were "supposed" to get - but I sort of like the look. Need to decide whether to have them swap the panels out with a "standard" 4-window option which was what we were going for.

Caulking finished up this morning, a few pavers out the back door to make the step down more within code, and all the locks have been installed. I think we're ready for the final inspection!
