Building the garage

Well, garage building time is finally here. We had the foundation poured by a professional, but Brian is taking the lead on the rest of it. We finished ordering supplies from Menards last weekend and the entire load was delivered on Wednesday night.


It's been ridiculously hot this week, so Brian took a few hours off between work and work on the garage on Thursday. It's way too hot and buggy for me to be outside, but luckily I had a little oasis to hide out in while Brian worked...

By Friday, the bigger problem was that Brian had developed a bit of a cold. Grrr! But, this morning Brian work up early feeling halfway decent. We headed out to the cabin bright and early, and by noon when we left, we (yes, I helped!) had framed up the two side walls.

Our plan is to go out again early tomorrow before church to work a bit more before it heats up. Brian also has Monday off, so hopefully the weather will cooperate and he can get a bit more work time in. This garage is going to be awesome when it's done!

In other news (don't look if you get queasy)...you'd think this was from building, but it was from pull starting the broken boat motor. Yuck!

Kate, I think you DO have an awesome outdoor office and both of you WILL have a spectacular garage!

Please buy a new motor for your boat! Those bruises look sore. They must hurt a lot. (Katesma)
