Bought a new home with a lot next to it, so I’m putting up a 30x26’ steel garage next to it. I have to bring in fill dirt to get it level with the house

 

I will post pictures along the way. As soon as it’s up, I’m bringing the Comanche up here 

[89 MJ]

Nice! That’ll be a nice building.

Congrats! That's one big undertaking. Best of luck! 

Send more photos as you progress

[Drahcir495]

Thanks!

Saturday night the fire truck was parked for what seemed like hours. I have no blinds on my windows yet, so the lights were lighting up my room. Unfortunately the guys house burnt up. Talked to him and the cause of the fire was arson. His ex came over and lit the place up. Really feel bad for the guy ->

The fill dirt is coming in 

 

[Drahcir495]

More progress ->

[Drahcir495]

On step closer - they compacted the fill ->

 

Ordering some sod tomorrow. TBC

[Drahcir495]

I have the fence going in! Should be up by tomorrow ->

[Drahcir495]

Fence is done!

 

 

It was a 100 foot straight shot. It is butting up to the neighbors fence, so that side was already done. I have the nice side facing in which is not the common way to to install them, but I guess I’m that guy .

 

I was supposed to have the sod here by Friday but their forklift died mid lift on the trailer->

 

Waiting on the engineering plans, so I can get the permits to start the cement pad and garage.

I would've done the same. If I'm the one paying for it, I want to look at the nice side. 

[Drahcir495]

I am glad you agree 

[Drahcir495]

Weeks of hearing that the sod will be delivered tomorrow it arrived. Sometimes being assertive  helps motivation. Started laying it down ->

 

Thats one pallet. Two is not going to be enough 

[Drahcir495]

Started the foundation ->

Poring the cement pad  ->

Cheers

heck yeah!

Feels like I have been here before . Not in the new garage yet, but it will only be parked outside for a few weeks. 

 

Waiting to get in the new garage->

[Drahcir495]

A lot of free time these days, so I'm organizing my pictures. I found one with the topper on it and went "that looks pretty good if I say so myself" ->

[fiatslug87]

I agree 

[Drahcir495]

The garage is going up ->

 

These guys were here until 9 working. 80% done he said ->

 

Ready to move my stuff in once the electricity is hooked up ->

 

The only area in my house it the kitchen and my room. Every where else is like a stuffed storage unit
