Showing my garage some love rebuilding it from studs to shingles
I made this once haunted shack into something really nice and I'm proud of that.
Starting with zero experience, I researched material and sourced it, calculated sizes and amounts to order. Every 18" shake was individually hand painted, front and back, and with only a 5" exposure most of the work can't be seen.
There was also the sub-wrap, trim, painting, reshingling, fascia, soffit, drip cap, gutters, door roof and the care and attention to detail.
I learned a tremendous amount and the whole project was hugely satisfying.
