We reached a major milestone today when the concrete was completed for the new garage. It was a big push at the end. The foundation was poured Monday and the slab and sidewalk were scheduled for today. I planned to take Wednesday off to backfill, grade and spread crushed rock. But that ended up taking me two long days of about 12-13 hours each. I shoveled several tons of rock and dirt. I was pretty damn exhausted when I finished the last rock spreading and digging at 10:00pm Thursday night. But I made it and the slab pour went off without a hitch today.
Now it's time to think about actually building the garage. Brother-in-law Frank has been kind enough to prepare the materials list from the plans. Now I have to get quotes for lumber and order the roof trusses. We'll probably frame the building in about 2-3 weeks.
