The Garage

The first project done (well not completely but I couldn't wait to post) on the house is the garage and it looks awesome! Here are some before pictures:

They started by taking the old garage doors off and saving the siding off of them to help patch the other areas on the garage. Next they took the siding off the side to fix the corner. The front left corner had some very old termite damage and needed to be completely replaced. Dad says we were lucky it didn't fall over!

Next they framed up two windows and a door.

Next the siding goes back up and they start sanding!

All the electrical is ready but just needs to be hooked up when we have the main house done and the job is done! What a great first project! Kevin really feels like he has learned a ton and we are so blessed to have help from Dad, Mat and Uncle Bill!

When we paint the side door, we will put the hardware on and it will be officially finished. I'll post more pictures then, I just couldn't wait anymore! Don't you just love the green!
