Funny you say that Joe. I just so happen to have been collecting some stuff for Windows that could also work for roof panels.

Looks like the door idea is going to work perfect.

Thanks guys, I just used the drill for demo purpose. Once the garage is assembled I'm just going to drill a hole in the side wall so I can use a screwdriver to roll the door up. Or maybe a little hand crank.
To close just have to pull it down by hand.The main reason for the doors is to try and keep leaves, squirrels and anything else out of the garage when not in use.
I could easily get carried away and install a servo to run the door with switches to activate when you pull up but I keep reminding myself to keep things simple and full time outdoor friendly........ Manual operation is fine with me.

RW can bring him if he wants. He can stay in the garage probably not a good idea though, mr nutters would get his *ss kicked by the big black squirrels that rule the backyard.

The doors are done and working. 99 freehand cuts in each door but well worth the effort. The plastic doors work great.
Now, on to the exterior work next.

Thanks KP, I appreciate it. I figured, with all the amazing metal work going on I could break things up a bit with some low budget backyard fun type building.

[TRUCKMAKER]

The building looks good Mario. I like the sprayed concrete look!

[Lil Giants]

Yes it does have a great stucco look to it, thumbs up Mario.

[Supermario]

Thanks guys.

I finally got all the things I wanted done before putting this together and it's finally starting to take a more permanent shape.

I'm glad the house wrap works because it turns out this corrugated plastic stuff is not easy to make clean accurate measurement cuts and it helps cover the mess in the corners. . Never the carpenter, always the material right?
So now that I've learned from that, I have a new idea on how to build with this stuff. Next building will have one seam. And all walls in one continuous piece.
here's what I'm thinking.........

Happy holidays RW!
Tree rat.... I'm anxious for next summer. Things are going to look a lot different next spring. I want to make a little neighbourhood. I've owned 3 houses in my life so want to build scale versions of them and my parents house I grew up in. Of course a Tim Hortons coffee shop and whatever else comes to mind.
