Nice! How 'bout more pix of the rest of the building - a garage?

Nice!
Are you building a new place? We'd all love to see pictures.
Say, what brand of housewrap is that, anyway?

I was just goofing on you with the housewrap thing, Dude, since they print their name every 24" all over the roll.
I noticed the details of your trim - looks like you laid on a little "gingerbread" every 24 inches. That's neat. Any pix of the camp - if the garage is any clue, it's gonna be hard to call it a camp.
If you have a second home, why not a second tractor?

Those aren't "gingerbread" they are temporary spacers for the finish work. Btw, that Tyvek thing went WAY over my head. Must have been a little too much wine before dinner.
Anyway, the "camp" will be built next spring. I still have to clear many trees. Sheetrock, light and heat the inside of the garage and side the outside. Plus, try and pay down the home equity loan that's allowing me to do all this.
As far as a second tractor goes that’s a laugh. If you could see my main house it's a beautiful Victorian with oak and parquet floors throughout. The trouble is they built these things on 40 by 100' lots in the 20's. I can hardly get my truck in the driveway. Our camp acreage is heaven.

Very nice Victorian - looks like you take good care of it.

That counts as finish on my garage, Terry. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif The spacers made it kinda look like you were going for a Scandinavian theme, there; especially with the pronounced eave overhang and flying rafters.
I suppose that lovely Victorian has you used to a whole 'nother level of finish work. Our place is a mid-sixties style, very austere; a sort of utilitarian Cape style. It has 2-1/2" Colonial molding used not only for window trim but door trim and false chair rail on the interior. One step above good old clamshell molding, I guess. My grandfather built a place like yours in 1916, and the farmhouse he bought next door from his Father was finished in a similar fashion.
I'm sure we'll all be interested in details on your building and property as you progress and care to share them.
