The Garage Project

Under the cut you'll find the building of our garage so far.

Just as a reminder (or as first time information) this is the reason for needing a new garage.  Granted, this wasn't actually a garage, but it sits where we always wanted to put a garage.

This building should be much sturdier than the last (fingers crossed). As of the end of today, we have one wall fully in place and the second one is framed, ready to finish!! Once the builder has a roof, it should move faster. Considering he is doing this mostly on his own, I'm very happy with the progress!
