Thanks CW, The guy that is going roof my garage also mentioned that and he will install the step flashing when doing the shingles. Can't wait to this roofed. Tomorrow the trusses go on the other side and then sheathing starts next Monday or so.

Thanks!

Yes, it's kind of turned in to more of a house, total sf is 1200sf down and 600 sf up.

Skiroule, your Mutt looks awesome, nice work!

OA, The other issue is that we are nowhere close to being ready for this EV push. It will be years before the infrastructure is in place to handle it. So let's be smart and phase it in, not just say let's turn off Oil and suffer like we are right now. It's ridiculous for us to be paying per...

Hard to believe that we started framing the lower garage only 45 days ago. I have had some help from neighbors and friends but this week we managed to get the upper level (600sf, 20'x30') framed and ready to put trusses on very soon. If you are wondering why the OSB is not on parts of the upper...

Way to go all you peeps with your cool loud pipes brapping all over the Northwoods! I don't mind brapping out where only a few can hear but have some respect for people that let you use their property to enjoy your machine and let all of the rest of enjoy ours as well. It's just common sense...

This EV thing was forced upon us by the current administration and the climate nuts. I'm not against EV's, but for Gods sake quit forcing this shit on us! It's getting real old!

Thanks, I knew what I wanted and it took me awhile to figure out the area and the guys that I could hire to actually do what I wanted them to do. I am the GC for the project and there are a lot of parts involved with it. We are basically 32 days into the build and things are starting to come...

Bingo!

I struggles with where to put the service door but I am going to cut it in after I get reasonably dried in. It will go on the right corner of the garage on the wall facing the house, I will have to build a small deck to access it because of the height difference. Where you see the rock wall...

Yeah, won't get out too much, only good thing is that prime time for walleyes is after dark so can't really work on the garage in the dark. I'll get out a couple times but garage is the priority right now.

Thats big hail! Was all that damage from the hail storm?

I bought my door at Menards and it is Ideal Brand, pretty big name in garage doors. Was a pretty easy install, they don't include things like angle iron to hang your rails from the ceiling, no locking mechanism is included with the door either, some of the pre-drilled holed were not drilled out...

I worked alone this week so it was a little slower going. Finished putting in support beams and joists for the other half of the upstairs which includes tedious things like lifting the beams myself, cutting and putting in blocking, planning out the stairwell, and finishing the decking for the...

That I don't know, I think those bars are still open, The Silver Dollar? I was last in that bar with my buddies about 36 years ago while snowmobiling, two years before I got married. From the looks of it Hurley is a little depressed these days, we don't have much reason to go there other than...

That area is fighting hard to make it anyway they can, if you've never been there you won't know what I am talking about. I drive up to Ironwood/Hurley every once in awhile and give the locals credit for their persistence. If you are ever there stop and support a local business, they need it. I...

Pete, it has been nice here in October as well, but anything can happen, gotta step on it the next few weeks.

My son in law a diehard Bears fan, was expecting great things against the Pack from Fields, said Fields was the future of the franchise. After the game he mentioned "Just another disappointing year". I am a Badgers, Bucks, Brewers, Packers fan, feel bad for him after all the bad years you...

I hoe it holds off for a couple more months up here, I need to get dried in!
