Time for the contractors


I'm off to Pennsylvania for a few weeks, so wrapped a few things up and then passed things off to contractors to finish roof prep, put on the roof, install doors and windows. 


Needed to tie the staircase post to the joist so built this little hook out of a 4x6 and pegged it to the post and screwed it to the joist. 


Another shot of the post and hook.

Still some work to finish off the floor on the north side.

South side floor is all in place. One circuit has been run to the second floor, now I've just got to run more outlets around the shop. 

Underside of the south side floor. Garage door openings all framed out for the hi-lift doors.

I had an electrician pull the main feed from the meter to the main panel in the building. He also upgraded the drop and meter socket to 200A.

When Tim upgraded the drop, he found this splice had failed to the house. We were experiencing flickering lights in the house - this failed splice explains it. 

I have another contractor working on the soffits - last step before the roof goes on. 

Friday the garage doors were installed. 

The doors were set up for liftmaster jack shaft openers.

With the door up 9', it will provide good clearance for cars on the lift. 

Eventually the door openers will be mounted between the two doors and connected to the torsion bars above the doors.
