Also, up where you live, you have a much shorter construction season. If they don't get it done this year, it will take a long time before they can finish it. Or work in some pretty cold weather.

I'll bet they get the outside finished in short order, so they can have the heat on and work on the inside in comfort.

Not really, we're used to the cold...our guys don't stop working outside until it's below 20 below, so that leaves about 10 months for construction.

LOL Windy, it's not COLD up here yet...we still have daytime temps of around 70F, tho I must admit the nights are starting to cool off...we had frost on Saturday night, but it wasn't a killing frost, just got rid of the bugs, now we'll have a nice fall!

It's likely we won't have heat this winter...not in the conventional sense anyway, probably be using the "Herman Nelson" for this winter. Then next spring we plan on buying a used oil furnace...free heat!

Could use hydrogen and have free heat with no polution... But, then... You'd have to get rid of the used oil...

Ok...more progress...talked to the builder when I got home this afternoon, he figures by the end of next week she'll be DONE!!!!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Can't win can we...so we get rid of the oil...get a small credit from the gov't for using it instead of dumping it, or paying some hefty costs for disposing of it....way better far as I'm concerned!

Yep, we tried to make it big enough to replace the old garage & have room for the trucks.

It's dimensions are 50 x 50 with 18 ft walls. The big door you see on front is 16' high x 24'wide big enough to drive both trucks in side x side, & the side doors are 10 high x 16 wide for the car, pick-up & hubby's '48. Then the last door is for the wash bay...we could have gone just 10 ft bigger it would have been nice, but this was 75,000 so we just couldn't afford to go bigger.

Well here it is...complete...but for the doors. Those are supposed to be put in sometime this week!





And look at this...they FIT!!!
