I'm finishing out the room over the garage now. It'll have a couple of beds, full bath, sink, and a small sitting area. It's 34'x16' to the short walls. Storage behind the walls.

After the framing & roof I've done all the work myself so it's moving at a snails pace. The pine siding isn't my favorite but the interior of the old house was all pine so it's for nostalgia as much as anything else. I used the salvaged siding in the second pic to build a small room inside the garage below.

I hope to have all the walls except the inside of the bathroom finished today. The plumbing isn't finished yet. I'm a plumber go figure

This one started life as a Holly “bush” and previous owners let it grow into a tree.  I had to get if off my siding and under control.

So I had it taken down to 3-5’ stumps so it can regrow and I can keep it trimmed at a decent level.

Now I have a lot of work to do on the side yard to get it prepped for some sod.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THESE ARE LOADING SIDEWAYS!  They are normal on my iPad.  
OK loaded them up to my Imageshack account and posted them. Direct from my iPad is now loading sideways.
