Roof complete, dormer complete, front brick nearly complete, extension powered up. Hopefully the exterior will be complete in a week's time as will the HVAC work. Then they will start work on the interior.

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 1
After nearly a year of preparations and delays which saw us part ways with two general contractors (GC) - Potomac Garage (worst GCs ever, the main sales guy Zev Pomerance is an outright liar and a crook) and Bowa Builders (ridiculously overpriced) - we finally got all our drawings in place, permits from the county, and finally our GC started work. They had to dig all the way down to 7 feet for the footings before the county gave permission to pour them, and so at the end of week 1, this is what the garage looks like.
First two days of digging:
