New garage time!

[fatjay]

Got the last of the plywood up on the side. Finished up the hurricane ties. The wind was blowing terribly. Got a lot of cleanup done then put the fascia boards on. Short day and the sun set pretty early now that the time change, and when it did, the temperature dropped pretty quickly.

Yep, sun goes down quickly along with temps. We are having warmer than normal temps all this week. Next week reality sets in.

Thanks for the update and pics!!!!

Looking to finish fascia tomorrow then back wall plywood and if we’re lucky start on plywood for the roof. Depends on how voting goes, if the lines are crazy it may cut into work time.

Today high in the 50’s, but the rest of the week is supposed to be mid 60s, so I’ll look forward to it. No more rain in the forecast as well. Should be done roof and tyvek this week with any luck. I should get on the phone with some garage door guys.

Built the front overhang and finished the side fascia boards. Then i sent my buddy off to vote while i moved 5 sets of scaffolding off the second floor and set up behind the garage to do the final plywood on the walls. Lines were 2-3 hours, I got there around 8 and out at 11:30. Worked until 3 and sent him off when I saw a facebook post about 10 minute lines. Apparently they were wrong, and it took hours.

Got up on the scaffolding and cut the excess plywood on the one side and nailed some plywood on the back. Up 5 sets of scaffolding it shakes like michale j fox. not very fun, I think I actually prefer the pump jacks to it.

looking good, but I'm telling you, it needs gothic windows on those tall sides.

I worked for a brick layer in high school. I hate scaffolding over 1 story high. I didn't have to work up on it, but I had to set it up and take it down. Blech!

I was thinking that big side would be great for outdoor movie night in the summer.

Looking good, but I'm worried about what those legs of the scaffold are resting on???

Love the storm ties.
