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".

Quick Progress When You

Hire it out!

Insulation started today, and finished! Decided to go "all the way" and just get the thing spray foamed. My wallet is lighter, but the Insulation contractor suggested I'd be able to heat the place with a candle now. Though I suspect that may be a touch optimistic, at least I won't be worrying about keeping the heat/AC on and will be more apt to use the space (which was the whole point).

Now to find some sheetrock guys....
