No gas on my road at all or I would have had that brought in... My hose bib on the house is 25 or so feet away so I didn't see a lot of sense in putting water in... My contractor is milking me pretty good too right now... I got the wood trim and the shelves finished...but didn't take any...

I picked up more rough cut and finished the RH side of the truss's... Went today and picked up 5/8" drywall and installed it on the bottom of the bulkhead... I need a few finished 3/4" trim boards to finish the shelf and the face... Did all I could do with what I had so I built the scaffold...

More insulation installed... Some wiring installed for a wall mounted light/clock... Blocking installed between studs... R-max finished above garage door... It's just a slow process when installing blocking...electrical and insulation all at the same time to make sure nothing gets missed...

Insulation was ordered and I'm going to pick it up tomorrow... Had to empty out my 20' box trailer to be able to haul all of it in one load... I put all of the wiring exactly in the center of the 2x6 walls so I can run insulation behind and in front of it... R-38 Kraft paper 24" for the...
