But is coming along nicely and should be complete in no time. I'm ready to have things somewhat back to normal around here, but there is a certain little boy that is in absolute heaven over the whole project. The dirt, the sand, the shovels, the heavy equipment, the tools ... he is in awe.
Sweeping up some dirt, while having no idea that that chunk of cement was going to be ripped up in a matter of moments:
The cement was hauled away and loads of sand were brought in. It was like one giant sandbox for him. In fact, it wasn't long before he started bringing out all of the his construction truck toys to play in the sand.
His little shovel received quite the work-out, as he would spend hours digging and moving sand around:
Making castles in the dirt:
He even found a hoe and started using that:
Hot and sweaty and such good workers:
Jack was able to be outside for a lot of this part; the setting of the posts.
And every time a truck came to deliver yet another load of lumber, you can guarantee that he was standing at the window, if not outside in the yard, watching.
Once the posts were set, the guys worked so hard, in the dead heat of summer, to begin framing it in. I really can't believe how fast they (a buddy of Steve's that has been his friend for years and was a groomsman in our wedding along with a worker of his) worked.
Starting to look like a real garage:
Almost fully framed:
It tied in beautifully with the house:
The roofing has begun:
Soon, the inside will be leveled out and the concrete will be poured:
Add the siding, garage door, exterior doors and windows and we'll have a completed project!
