Building a 50' x 25' garage with 2nd floor

[Builder]

Sorry I have been so long without updates. We had a lot of progress despite the late winter surge from old-man winter. We were so busy framing the roof structure, by the time I had time to take a picture, it was nearly done, but here we go:

Roof rafters & ridge in place, start dormers:



Roof sheathing on, dormers framed & sheathed:



Side shot after sheathing-beginning of covered walkway:



Other side-note we left a small opening on side-this is where tractor overhead door will go:



Next day found us in the roofing phase. Papered in in about 1/2 hour, shingles loaded on ridge-29 squares for this job.





Some time elapsed here and found me not using the camera enough. We got the shingles on, garage door eliptical topped-openings framed & finished off with Versatex and windows in. We also got the wire & scratch coat for our "Classic Cut" real stone veneer on:



Here's the stone veneer applied. Does it look like real stone? Good, because it IS real stone, just cut a little thinner!



I also got the covered walkway done and got the 6x6 posts jacketed in 1/2" Versatex:



Arched doorway up close. This style of stone is called "Mica Blend"...has a hint of Mica in many pieces:



More coming next week. The job is 99% done now. I'll post pictures of the "finished product" in a few days!

You probably could live on the 2nd floor. There's about 1,000 square feet of clear living space and a nice wide set of steps to get you up there!

It's for my Customer.

Great guy with lots o' green.

Nice work... Do you do the stone work or did you have a mason do it?

I am sure my hardest choice would be to pick which high end sports car to put in which spot.

Were did you get the stone vineer? It looks great.
I want to put something like that on the wall behind my wood stove at my cabin.
