The Garage - Project Intro and Material Delivery

For the next while my focus will be shifting from vehicles to their stable.... My garage is in desparate need of an "Extreme Makeover".

After much debate and penny pinching, we bit the bullet and purchased the materials we will need to rebuild the garage. The "Extreme Makeover" will consist of the following:

-strengthening of existing roof by modifying to a trussed style full-span structure
-replacement of bottom 2 feet of roof sheathing
-removal of old shingles, new shingles installed
-construction of new 2x4 framed walls on 3 sides, 2x6 wall on front, inside existing structure, tied to new roof structure
-removal of existing walls
-"smart panel" siding on all four walls
-16 foot insulated steel garage door
-32" insulated steel entry door on side of garage
-framing for windows in future
-65' "good neighbour" style fence down LHS of property line
-eventual new wiring, fuse box, lighting, insulation, inside OSB, air lines, paint, etc...

The first stage of the makeover, the delivery of goods, occured today. After a 12 hour delay the Home Depot truck arrived and the material was delivered by forklift where needed. Yes - everything on that truck is for us! The garage door won't be available for a few more weeks. In the next week I will move the remaining vehicles into storage and start on the roof modifications. I will then build the walls, then order a garbage bin to dispose of the walls and scrape down the roof. The fun has just begun!

PS - figure out how the skid of shingles (and the Lemon) got on the other side of the railing and I'll buy you a beer...
