So.......I started a project, My new Garage!

[pclark]

I had a big issue finding someone to do a small project. Not a lot of $$. Very few of them even called me back.

Yep, that's an issue, why I pretty much do everything myself.

I get that. I'm blessed because my contractor is the chairman of my congregation. He's swamped, but he always slips me in his schd.

Not to mention you know what you have when you are done

I agree. I don't like to pay someone to do what I can myself.

Paul you have the right idea if you can find a guy you can work with and kinda do the general yourself self make take a little longer but way more cost efficient and you can see the quality of work being done. I was very lucky on the builds that I was able to do that and had a real carpenter with 30-35 years experience to make sure the codes were all met.

Thanks Jim, I start looking this month for that guy, hope I can find him.

Depending on complexity and timing I’d be interested in the framing part. I’d rather frame up there than down here in the Fox Valley.

I'm looking at a June/July frame out 2027. If that fits your time frame we should meet and you can look at the plans and we can talk.

I can probably only do spring or fall, as I rent my place out all summer (except a couple weeks for boat time) beyond that you’d have to pay lodging as well and that could get pricy. The last one I did up there was 10 minutes west of Eagle River so the builder put us up at a hotel. This was in 2020(in heart of the china virus) just myself and my brother, 21-12 hour days, basement finished and decks built with all composite decking and aluminum rails!
Was definitely tired when was completed! lol

Yeah, that probably wouldn't fit our timing but thanks for getting back to me. Was that build on Spider Lake in MW?

If something changes let me know, that was on Boot Lake. Smaller lake but great frontage.

I will Sweep, You never know, If I can't find anybody a fall build might work, just depends. Thanks!
