Siding work429 viewsAt this point, the back and sides (minus the gables) were complete, and Tim was working on siding the front. The garage door won't get it's final wood trim until the roll-up door is complete.

Window!426 viewsWilliam was worried when we covered up his window with sheathing, but was happy again once we cut it back out.

Front and back walls409 viewsThe front and back walls, waiting to be used...

Walls being built404 viewsWe started building the garage on the driveway. This picture was taken while working on the walls. We used a pressure-treated 2x4 sole plate which will rest directly on the ground, and 2x2's for the wall framing. 2x2's were used to help keep weight and costs down, and becuase they should be more than sufficient for this use.

Walls assembled...401 viewsIn this pic, you can see we got the four walls assembled together and temporarily braced. Everything looks darker in this pic because a brief, surprise rain shower made everything damp...

Working on the Roof398 viewsSince the siding was complete, we could move the garage to its final position (since it has bushes on sides, it would have been hard to side in place. Here Tim works on the shingles.

Siding and painting trim391 viewsWe moved the garage near it's final location so we could put the siding on it. It was still very heavy even though it lacked a roof and siding... Here Cathy works on painting the door trim.
