Garage Raising

The re-bar installed on both ends prior to pouring.

This shot shows the re-bar on the north end better along with the re-mesh.

The slab for the grill turned out great. This is 680 lbs of concrete.

Pothole patch put down where the forms were.

Finally the walls have been sheet rocked. You can see the back 12 feet is finished and the remainder taped and mud applied.

Here is a shot of the door with the casing installed. I had to build the jam up to accomodate the 6" walls necessary for the R19 insulation. I'll paint this in the next day or so.

2320 lbs of concrete has been poured in this area. The excess concrete has not been swept away yet so as to not disturb the pour. The concrete is smoother then this photo depicts.

I put down pothole patch in the low area of the asphalt for proper drainage. Look at all the Elm seeds that blew in. They will sweep away.

Me holding the building permit and the final inspection paper work which is approved and signed off 220 days after the start of this project.

Another shot of the service door. In the forground is the electrical panel.

This is a shot of the rear 12 feet shown in the first photo. This has been totally finished. I will be insulating and sheet rocking the ceiling sometime later this year.

This is a shot of the shop door showing the casing installed.

The walls have all been sheetrocked, taped, sanded and now painted.
