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!

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.
Sent from somewhere on the road, I hope.

Future apartment.
Not much help, but she has a nail gun.
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.

The part that put a smile on my face, the head for the garage.
Missed the studs this time.
Almost there
Lines, drains and power on the outside
Outside unit
Connected and power on. Temp inside garage. It was 40 outside.
30 minutes later in garage with minimal insulation.
