Need to patch the cement under the garage door to help seal it up for this winter.  Here are some before pictures:

Here is the first pass at building it up (still need to do more):

A couple of pictures of Java:

Need to Rake the lawn today and then get back to Patching the floor.  Next weekend brings a chance of snow showers!!

Dry-walling is complete and heater is working.

Workbench:

New light and winterized A/C:

Now need to get the garage organized!

Finally finished the ceiling.  All that remains now are the walls for the front half!

Drywalling the ceiling.

Remounted the opener.  The board that was holding it cracked, so I used a 2×8 instead:

Last weekend, we got the rafters added along with some supporting boards:

Note in the above picture, there are some boards that needed to be trimmed that extended below the rafter.  Here they are trimmed:

I still need to add rafter boards at the front and back of the front half before I can insulate and drywall.  The front of the garage has some wires for the garage opener which needs to be re-located.

Think I have figured out my garage door closing problem.  Towards the bottom when closing, the door sides from side-to-side and sometimes stops the opener.  Well, my garage opening walls are not straight up and down, but the opener is – see pics:

I also measured the distance between the rails in the middle and bottom and they are off by at least an inch.  So after dry-walling, I can work on the door as time permits.  Might have to get some help with that!  The goal for this next week is to get the ceiling insulated and dry-walled for the front half!

I have to figure out how I am going to put the 2x4x14’s in the front half because of the garage opener:

One thought is to create a box above the opener to put the drywall.  Another thought is to put the boards above, but I have the gas line and wires to worry about:

Need to decide by this weekend.

Finished the back half of the garage tonight:

There is one piece of drywall to do, but that will be after I tear down the workbench on the front half that is right beside it.  Tomorrow I will clear out the front half so I can prep for doing the roof.

Only had a couple of hours tonight to work on the garage.  Got a couple sheets of drywall cut and hung:

Tomorrow I will hang the remainder of the drywall on the back half of the garage before moving stuff from the front of the garage to the back so I can begin working on the front of the garage.

After work, I cut some insulation and hung it from the walls.  Also covered with plastic:

Have an appointment after work today, but by the end-of-the-day tomorrow, should have drywall on these two sections of the walls.  Not sure how much will get done on Tue.
