When you're done you can come to Springville and build a garage for me.

It just took a long time for the builders to get to us. The company sold 2 times the number of buildings over last year, along with the rain and Covid issues, they are running way behind.

I hope to have a finished shell by the end of the week.

This experience reminds me why I prefer to do my own work and why I don't like to depend on other people.

If you were Amish or Mennonite you could have had a garage-raising by now.  ;D

It's looking good!

If I would have done it myself, I think I could've had it done....even as slow as I am.  :)

I finally have a new garage.  I have a huge list of things I want to do. I  had to put Baby in the corner until I finish interior construction. At least it will be parked inside for awhile.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201002/2b43398311a38a77a7f523a387bf27a4.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201002/4ed019d279706f75bb720ddf7d610085.jpg)

Sent from somewhere  on the road, I hope.

Walls and a little sheetrock

Looks like something now

Give her something with a trigger and she's good. Not so much with sheetrock mud.
