Lmfao! I need this kind of wingman in my life!
I use to be a mason in my former life. Then I got smart and seen how hard it is on the body and it is not very financially secure career for retirement. Example my 70 year old father and my 84 year old uncle are still working and laying brick. I also made $25 and hour and 1990 doing it. The pay for masons here locally is around $18 today with no benefits. Everyone talks about skilled trades is a great career and I agree it is good to learn a skill that has to still be performed by a human but the wages that are paid is ludacris and it is so boom or bust.

I'm mostly complete now. At least with the stuff I myself can do.
I finished the siding last Sunday.
Then I was able to finish the fascia trim.
This is the trim around the garage door that I'll need someone with a brake to make for me.

Yesterday I got the garage door working so by request here are some interior pictures.
The panel box will go behind the walk-in door
Here is the storage loft
And a view of the working door

The final 2 steps are:
1) get someone to bend the coil stock around the garage door trim
2) pour the concrete under the shelter overhang (probably this fall when my budget allows)
Well I guess really 3 steps because I got to organize all my crap in there. That's a never ending process though.

Built a work bench today.
Getting started
The blank space where the fridge will go
The bottom shelf completed and the top started
And the top completed
I used some of the left over sheeting I had for this. 7/16" for the bottom shelf and 3/4" Advantech flooring for the top. I can put a piece of hardboard or laminate over the top if I screw it up.
