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.

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.

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


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




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