Been making some progress on the man cave.

Siding is done, windows are in, and the roof is on!


Started on sidewall shingles for the peak sections. Tedious, but fun. Got accustomed to the scafolding after 30 minutes.


On our way with the house.


This is what has been taking up so much of my time. I feel guilty when I'm not out there. The 100 hour weeks between the day job and the project are a bit of a grind, but it should be worth it.

I think that the best part is that the HUGE garage/shop is the first thing built. Only manlogic makes that sensible and a beautiful thing. I know one other guy who did it that way. He also had a crapper with a hard back Cabela's master catalog next to the toilet. Tells you everything you need to know. Looking good.

Yes, there is a crapper and an office in there as well. Since we're doing a lot of it ourselves, we needed an area to pre-finish items going into the house. (That is what I told the wife.)

Sweet! In the end all the extra work will all payoff. I did the same thing 30 years ago. Good Luck!

Andy,

That's looking really cool! Looks like you went with a pretty tall ceiling in the man cave. If I could remember how to post pictures, I'd share some from my project. I just used 9' studs for my garage wall, as I'm not planning to park an RV or work on exceptionally large projects.

I must be too old for 100 hour weeks. Your project is passing me up. I just finished my garage framing; the roof is on, but no siding yet. The framing contractor just got the house roof sheeted last Friday, and they're finishing some inside stuff and framing the deck this week. The shingles were loaded on the house roof yesterday, and roofers are supposed to be shingling today.

I'm amazed at how fast the house framing has gone, but a professional crew goes a lot faster than me putting in evenings and weekends on the garage. Nonetheless, I'm employing the same philosophy as you that I need that garage and shop space for all the finish and trim work I plan on doing myself. I'm going to buy a small bench planer so I can mill the cedar I've had air drying since July. I'm going to panel my living room ceiling with that. I'm gonna' have to buy a bunch of T&G for soffeting the porch and deck areas tho.

Did you rent scaffolding? I've been using scaffolding for so long, I just built some with framing lumber along the sides of my garage. Then I built a 4x4x8 mobile scaffold that I first used to raise the attic trusses over the garage, and then moved it outside to work on the gable end framing, which I just finished Sunday.

Construction projects are fun and exciting stuff. Thanks for sharing.

The scaffolding belongs to the framer, a friend, so I can use it when they aren't.

He'll just build us the shell with a dry roof on it, and we'll take over after that. Same as with the shop. I don't do drywall or insulation. We do all the electrical, and I hire out the rough plumbing/gas. Floors, finish work, paint and everything else is mine, although I have some friends in the trades to help out.

Looks great. Very good set up, your new house is going to be the new McCleary Mansion!

I was going to stop by and look on Sunday, but my kitchen pass had ran out.

I should put up some pictures of my project. I have the framing done now, and the roof went on last week. I wish I could put together 100 hour weeks, but these little kids make it hard (plus the hunting/fishing stuff). If I could get the heat turned back on in the house, we could bring them along, I hope I am to that point by X-mas.

Andy,

Nice to have friends who can loan ya' stuff like scaffolding. Handy sort of like the loaner backhoe you have.

I hear it doesn't make $ sense to do insulation. The insulation companies will install it for what we can buy it retail. I'm not sure about drywall, but the young gorillas can install more in a day than I can in a month. I did it in my last house, but I've got a time limit of sorts on my construction loan, so I'm foregoing the pleasure of hanging drywall this time. I'm sorta' cherry picking the parts I want to do - enough to have my fingerprints on the project and fell like it's my own. I'll run wire in the garage, but have the electrician do the house. I'm going to install the deck, deck and porch and eave soffiting, hardwood floors, tile, and finish trim, and we'll paint everything ourselves. Then we'll probably spend the next couple years landscaping.

Keep up the fun!

That looks like fun. Construction is rewarding. I work as Superintendent for a general contractor down here so I get my rewards daily. Nothing like tangible results. You are in the midst of the 80/ 20 theory of construction. Foundations and framing go up in no time ie: 80 % 0f the obvious results show up in the first 20% of the time.... Once you are dried in is when the time drain seems to begin. Good luck and have fun!

Once I don't have to spend time outside, under the eaves without gutters, in a drinving rain storm, hanging tar paper or putting up siding, I'll be just fine.

SG, Much cheaper, time and $ wise, to have them do it. $1,500 and a day for the 1800 SF shop. Same with the drywall.

Did you score any doors from the Simpson closeout rack? You'll have plenty of room in the man cave to store them!

I haven't seen anyone mention it, but I'd recommend hiring a pro to put your comp roofing on - I did it for two years and never did get as good as the, shall we say, "enhanced metabolism" guys! rofl I didn't mind tear-off, sheeting/felt, but shooting down comp always killed my back. Regardless, keep having fun!
