There may be snow on the ground but we want to see progress. We are too anxious to wait for this weeks warmer weather to take down the garage door and put up the exterior wall and french door for the Trophy Room. So onto working in the cold.
This is what the West Wing looked like with the garage door. We are selling the door if anyone knows someone who needs one.
Door is rolled up and new wall has been raised. We built it on the floor and then had a wall raising to put it up. Didn't build it all the way to the top so it would be easy for the two of us to lift.
It's cold outside when you have to put a blanket down for your knees to rest on.
Love the nifty little tool with the .22 to puts the nails into the concrete. So much easier than drilling a hole and hammering.
Time for the upper part of the wall,
This is why we bought ourselves a scissorlift. No climbing up and down ladders. Everything you need is on the lift with you. You just drive it back and forth to where you need to be working.
Time for the door!!!
It's wonderful, except it has to be replaced. The paint is peeling off the trim. When we put the handle on; the paint scratched off. It doesn't appear the factory primed the door and trim. We bought a never needs to be painted door and it isn't working that way.Oh, well at least we know we like the way it looks.
