Framing day

The garage was a straight forward design that we bought from Totem (now Rona).  We used 2×6 walls for extra insulation, and 2′ spaced rafters.  It all arrived on site by a picker who dropped it by the pad.  Pretty much everthing we needed was there, and with some helpers we got all the walls framed and up in a day along with the rafters.

Wall1 going up.

We ran into some problems getting our wall around the conduit to the house (for electrical) and the heating pipes.  We ended up building that wall in 2 sections and tying them together.

Corner work

I was lucky to have lots of help with the promise of beer and steak.

Hmmm, what to do with the pipes?
Wall corner and bracing

Time to put up the rafters and sheet the roof.  We ended up doing a lot of this on Sunday.

Place then and flip them

Now we had to sheet it.  Wasn’t too bad with a 3 12 slope.
