Re: Un garage à la française
Tiniest update, but an update nonetheless...

Tomorrow, the plan is for the guy who did the excavation to come and put in a driveway leading down from the house, with that done then hopefully things start to get moving. What sucks is that the price of everything has gone nuts, the budget we had for the garage and some other house projects, might now only cover the garage and maybe one or two other things, to say that's disappointing is an understatement. While my wife is not complaining, I can't help but feel guilty that I am getting a huge garage and she likely will have to wait on things she (really we had both) wanted.

I'm sure your wife is used to disappointment by now :brick:
Congrats on getting the trusses...that's a pretty big milestone

Re: Un garage à la française
Stupid snow, had some rebar dropped off Friday and 2 dump trucks of stone to put the driveway in leading down to the garage.
Then of course it snowed again, so the ground managed to just about dry out, started getting progress, now under a blanket of snow.
The temperature was 60F Friday and Saturday, today it's not getting above freezing, the rest of this week is at least in the mid 40's or higher, so it should melt quickly, but then rain Thursday. So, guess it'll be another week or so of waiting for the ground to not be a swamp again.
Re: Un garage à la française
Got the rebar into the footers, inspection scheduled for tomorrow.

And, have a new driveway leading down from the house, which yes, I do plan to drive my car down later today and park in the "garage"

Inspection passed, hopefully get some concrete next week.
Re: Un garage à la française
Dang. We just did a two story garage with an apartment up top in 18 days. We ran an i-joist short (architect did the takeoff). I thought that was going to be a 2 month wait but it ended up only taking about 10 days. Getting those trusses already is a blessing.
You guys need to get used to the snow!

Concrete getting poured today, thankfully before 4 days of rain coming later this week.
Re: Un garage à la française
That's one part of building I've never tried. I did a couple trench pours for small additions but never finish concrete. Too expensive to practice on!
Re: Un garage à la française
With the cost of materials these days, pouring a bag of sand is becoming too expensive to practice on!!
