July House Project Notes

Garage

After the garage floor was cured and the inside framing was done work started on the large garage addition. We are adding onto the original house by including a three car garage and a workroom. Two of the garage bays are designed to handle large trucks. By staggering the construction work can continue on framing the outside while the electrician and plumber start work inside.

Here the first joists arrive and some of the initial garage framing is started.

We are using some metal posts to hold the centerline of the garage up. Here they are installed and the view showing them in place.
