The Shape
by Jake on Aug.18, 2010, under Garage Mahal
The shape of the new building is definitely observable now…and it’s big! I’m really happy with window and door placement and size. We’ve made our final decisions on the siding color and the roof. The GC has a couple of things to fix in the meantime but he promises to get on that. There’s quite a bit of work to do before moving in takes place. I plan to take care of framing, plumbing, and installing an upstairs bathroom myself. I’ll also take care of the electrical and plumbing of water and compressed air. Hopefully the budget will allow enough so I can contract out the insulating and drywall installation instead of doing it myself. Because we picked a special roofing material, it will be a week before the shingles arrive. I suspect they will get started on the siding soon. We’re waiting for the concrete paving to happen before they can construct the external staircase to the second floor.
