Merry Christmas to All!

Merry Christmas everyone! The cold weather is here today and the garage project is a work of art to be admired from a distance - like inside the house with the heat turned up!
The drywall has been hung on the ceiling and walls. Now I'm ready to tape and mud the seams and screw marks. It's another one of those jobs that is not on my list of favorite things to do (seems to be a lot of those?) Who wants to help? I hope to have everything finished under the garage door hardware before those doors are installed next month.
It looks great!

I'm now on the list to have the power line switched. We have always had Colorado Springs Utilities connected by an overhead service from the telephone pole to the house (power lines.) If you tried, you could reach the power line from the roof. Plans are to have the utility buried to the garage and buried feeder lines to the house and shop. After the switch, we'll remove the old meter box along with it's galvanized conduit lines hanging on the side of the house.
Pretty soon there will be garage doors and power! That means heat! Then I can work inside regardless of the weather. SWEET.

    Six 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.
