Garage Build - Week 6 & 7

Framing is complete, windows are in, electrical lines have been run. They will finish the exterior next week and also power up the extension. After that it's on to the interior. Plenty of pictures.

Garage Build - Week 5

We're mid way through framing at the end of week 5. It rained a couple of days causing us to lose some time. Other than that, everything is looking good. Now that the ceiling is in place for the garage, you truely realize how hangar like the garage is. It can easily fit 3 cars wide 2 cars deep (i.e., a total of 6 cars) without a problem.

Garage Build - Week 4

Started framing this week. The walls are starting to come up. Should be done framing by the end of next week (week 5).









Back door landing/step out. It's a lot lower than I thought it would be.



Pad for the second floor HVAC cooling tower.



Looks like the Fire Tree will be right up against the extension. Luckily it has survived the worst of the construction.



And the one and only Dave Behrens, master builder.

Garage Build - Week 3

Another week of waiting for the Fairfax county inspector. Luckily this will be the last inspection we will need for a while. The slab went in this week. It is 12" thick and can take the planned 2 lifts easily.

Garage Build - Week 2

Week 2 involved a lot of sitting around as we waiting for a second Fairfax county inspection. At the end of the week, we had poured the foundation and prepped the ground for the slab.

Foundation.









Ground prepped for the slab.
