I've said it before and I'll say it again. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. Young enough to do it with barely enough money. Rising material prices is starting to hurt though. I may have to wait on the siding until spring, but I want to get the roof done, tyvex, ice guard, and doors on it asap.
New garage time!

It’s been fun following along with this build. The no stairs concept to the upper floor is great for the young guys.
In less than 15 years from now, there will be stairs installed.

I always make it a point to get the roof sheathing covered up and walls tyvek done before going any further. Sometimes to have to take a extra day or so to get the building protected. Especially if you live up north where the cold, ice and snow will be here sooner than later ! Enjoy following and admire the work you do !!
Straitened the left wall, got second top plate on. Back wall and 2nd top plate. Finished building right wall, got top plate on, measured 24', had a **** of a time getting that wall strait and 24' in all areas. Still, managed to do it and get the last of the second top plates on just as it was getting to dark to see the nails.
Trusses tomorrow at 10am, we're going to get things cleaned up starting at 8. Now that walls are up i feel like it's narrower than the first floor, it could just be all the junk up there though.

Stay safe... don't work too fast. Be deliberate. I know you are but just a reminder. You don't want your take away from this project to be you!

That is basically my plan to add a lean to garage on the side of my shop. Shop is tall enough to support a lean to and I would not need much, just lights and a garage door opener.
