At this point the garage is ready for shingles and siding. We've got the garage doors and openers installed now, and the electrical meter bases installed on the sides of the garage are inspected and approved. Inside the garage we need to fire rate the middle party wall, which consists basically of insulating the stud spaces and hanging type x drywall on either side. With this work planned for tomorrow we can recall the inspector and wrap up the project. This is just in time as we need to landscape the rear of the yard, and we don't want to landscape until the garage is completely finished.
The doors are in and we can proceed with our siding and shingles. Garage building is a vastly easier task than house building. It almost seems like the garage builds itself. I wish my houses would go up as smoothly.
The temporary power pole can be taken down and the permanent power connected. This is something the enmax crew can do in about a half hour...but they aren't likely to be able to get to me for a few days. So we are back to using long extension cords, not ideal for the finishing work.
