I went to a Morgan James concert this past February (the gorgeous blonde on the right) It was a really small venue... maybe 20 tables. Her act is all covers and admittedly I didn't know most of the jazz and blues songs she sang. She made a point of visiting and singing from each table, giving everyone an experience. At our table she sang a beautiful version of Cecilia, made me teary eyed. Then she stole my drink and jokingly complained that it was only ginger ale.

Nope, had the car backed in so the drivers side was away from my window. I have a motion sensing light out there but no camera unfortunately.
Bummer. Are you thinking of getting a camera? You can get cheap wifi cameras that will send you notifications on your phone whenever there's motion or sound.

I love when framing goes up, it goes from nothing to looking like a building.
It makes it look so much bigger too!

Was same thing when my house burned down. I’d be staring at the remains/foundation thinking shit, it looks so much smaller than what it felt like inside my house lol. Once i started framing these walls I was like okay, now we’re talking! :-)
I used to build walls for a living but never really gave a shit. Was just work. I didn’t even care to look back and think “look what I just did”. It all gets old after a little while.

Plenty of time to get it dried in before everything turns to mud also. Edit, hell, completed...

I’m trying to do all of this without renting any equipment but I think I’ll probably have to rent a Gradall when I get the plywood for the roof.
Besides that, my little blue tractor is getting it done!
I’ll be keen to watch your roof get done we use terracotta/contcrete tiles or tin sheets here I noticed American roofs are different. My cousin in-laws from North Carolina. His business is American style roofing he use like rubber looking shingles in rolls.image.jpg

I had every intention on putting a metal roof on both the new shop/garage and the future house. Hard to beat the fireproofing metal roofs, and tiles, get you but I chickened out. Gonna go with what’s most common here which is an asphalt shingle roof. It is what it is :-(
