Got the final coat of stucco applied. It was really just the texture that mattered because it has been painted to match the house. Painting was quite difficult since the texture was so rough. I used a 5 gallon bucket of paint on just the front and both sides with a 3/4" roller. The back will be done later as it was still wet from the rain water cascading off the roof there. You'll notice the newest stack of lumber for the rooftop deck. What you can't see is the stack of PT (pressure treated) lumber inside the garage. Using the PT lumber for the frame of the deck. PT is necessary as this is a 'sleeper' frame, meaning it rests directly on the roof and will get wet. Nothing like being on a black roof when it's 90 degrees! I built this ramp - FINALLY! I think I failed the intelligence test when I brought the first pieces up the ladder. After almost killing myself a few times that day (and really exhausting myself) I started the second day by building a ramp. Much easier and safer to be sure. Well, it's more entertainment for the passers by.
If you look closely, you'll also notice the grass starting to come up in the back yard. Remember I leveled everything, and put in sprinklers? Well we put fertilizer and seed down near the end of May.

AuthorSix years ago this blog began when I began building a detached garage with a rooftop deck connected to our house deck. I did everything then, but now the blog will show some recent projects. Archives
