Well, progress has slowed down since the speedy pace of the initial 17-day build. But, I do have some new pics to share.

The finish grading/gravel driveway was completed last week. The crew did a good job, although the guy operating one of the machines did hit the building and break two of the corner trim boards . But, the company called me to let me know what happened and said they'd pay for the fix.

My builder came back last weekend to install the custom, oversize windows on the back wall of the second story. They look awesome, offer a great view, and let in tons of light.

Finally, two out of three of my garage doors were installed today, by the local Overhead Door Company office. The rear door will still be a couple weeks out, thanks to having to special order the high-lift tracks that will keep the door as close as possible to my 12' ceiling in the back "work" bay.

You can see, if you compare these pics to those that I posted weeks ago, that the siding has taken on a rich golden color. I need to get it sealed up before it gets too cold now, and lock in the beauty. I'll be posting a question on the board here about my options.

Thanks for looking.

I have been following this thread for quite some time. I am in awe as to what some of you are capable of building. I finally had my camera out today and shot a couple of photos of my "pole barn". My house is only 1200 s.f. and my shop is more that double that. Shows you where my priorities are.

Nice "pole bar" 74SDformula !!! Looks like you have a lot of nice stuff and the space and equipment to enjoy the sport/hobby. Yup my dish washer doesn't work right now.... but my Lift sure does !!!

Bull - I really like the 45-degree wall studs... beyond the aesthetic appeal, is there any other motivation for doing it that way? You may have mentioned this, but how tall is your garage and what floor area is it?

74SDFormula - a 1200 SF house & a 2400 SF garage? ...PRICELESS!

For the height, I'd have to check the blueprints to find the exact figure. The square footage is a bit over 1,500.

As for the diagonal framing, it eliminates the need for any sheathing before the siding is applied. The diagonals add a great deal of rigidity to the structure, and reduce lateral movement, unlike traditional vertical framing members.

Bull, your a lucky guy...new wife and a new garage all in the same year?? And I had no idea you had a GTO. I thought you were an F body only guy.

Congrats!!
