Garage update



 It was a wet day back in May when the back yard was dug up for the garage foundation.



The start of the footings and foundation forms.  

 Forms all ready for the concrete.
 A few friends to help pour the concrete.


 Concrete poured and 7 cubic yards of gravel waiting to be shovelled. The first of 2 piles that had to be moved. Oh what fun!!!
 Poured the garage floor in July after some of the walls were up. Concrete was supposed to arrive at 8 am but the day before a plant shut down caused a change of plans and it couldn't arrive till 1pm. It turned out to be a hot day and made for a bit of a tense pour. Thank goodness the driver was awesome and stepped in to give a hand.
 Rowyn checking out the new floor!
 Walls are up and the roof is in place. Building inspectors Gryffin and Rowyn checking out the quality of work. They both approve.

 Can the help get any cuter then this?
 Gryffin checking out the shingles.
The garage door is on and we're now trying to finish up all the little details so that the siding can start going on.
