Dave Kipp and Bill installing the correct torsion springs.

Checking to see which way the spring winds.

I cleared the area while he was winding after they told me the story of the winding bar being thrown through the window on one of their jobs. I didn't need to see this process that badly.

Siding completed on the south side of the garage. The north side soffits and siding will be completed Wednesday. I had to return two 12 ft. pieces of soffit material as they were bad so I couldn't finish that side today.

Siding completed on north side.

With the siding completed on the west side, all the siding is finished.

Winding the spring (the dangerous part) Required 7 1/2 turns.

The soffits finished on the south side. I will be finishing the siding on that side hopefully on Sunday.

Soffits complete on the north side and exterior light installed.

Another shot of completed north side of garage.

All the soffits are installed after having just finished the west side. Didn't have time to finish the siding today.
