The garage project was kind of on hold from mid-July through mid-August. Summer activities got in the way. But two weeks ago we got the roofing done, last week we got the doors all in and this weekend my dad helped me get started on the siding. I think we're about half done with that. 5 of 8 walls are mostly done, but the hard parts are left to do: the door and window tops with more cuts and the difficult high parts.
We're looking forward to getting the siding all on and trimmed out. Then we just have to paint the whole thing. If we're still feeling ambitous, we'll paint the house at the same time, in the same colors (it's looking like we'll go with brick red with white trim).
I wish I had kept track of my time for the project. It entails lots of fun little things like getting home from work and moving 1.5 tons of siding out of the alley and into the yard by hand (delivery trucks can't get into the yard). But it's going to be very satisfying when it is all done.
Of course, once we get the exterior all painted, then we have to finish the interior: electrical and plumbing and drywall and paint and trim, etc.
