    Wow! They sure are moving fast, as all constrution should but rarely do. I bet you can't wait to move into your new garage! Look forward to seeing more pics as your garage is being completed.

    Subfixer nice pictures! Looks like you have had perfect weather to get the sub work in. And this is the time of year to do it. Here in southern Indiana its been a tough year (rain about every third day) Its exciting to see one comeing out of the ground. I've been it this business about 30 yrs. Good luck!

    On a little weather hold this week before the slab gets poured. After that then it's just me and the little lady to do the rest of the construction.

    Chuck,
    One story, 4 pitch roof, 11ft ceiling height (for the lift). No storage above. (I've got a full basement in the house for that).
    More pics on the way. Slab has been poured and lumber should be delivered this afternoon or tomorrow. Then the fun begins.

    Dimensions are 32D X 24W X 11H. 2 garage doors 9W X 8 H. Not sure where all the "furniture" will go quite yet.
    Got 1 side wall framed up yesterday, probably do the back wall today and finish the wall framing this weekend. Still waiting delivery of the roof trusses.
