Looks great with the brick. Look forward to the next set.

I also misunderstood. Is the ceiling going to be finnished? It wold not be too hard to run new lines if the ceiling is left framing exposed. But I guess with how nice your new garage is that it will be all finnished off. You could install some retractable coord reels coming down from the ceiling.

Yes the entire inside of the garage will be drywalled, including the ceiling. I think Im going to finish and paint it, but thats another story. Talked to my builder today, they forgot to add in the price to insulate the garge. They want $1395 but thats R13 in all the walls and R19 in the complete ceiling, so its a good deal really. The brick work is done and we have a pre-drywall meeting today. Ill try to get some new pics up today.

Sounds like you're getting down to the wire with regard to making any last minute changes

And yeah, doing the insulation is such a good idea that it's still a bargain. Good thing that didn't slip past you!

Just imagine all the money you'll be saving on heating costs. It's definately worth while.

Latest pics / updates: The house is fully bricked and the utilities / mechanicals are in. Heres some pics:

The long side of the garage. I will be doing some landscaping or planting trees to break this wall up a bit

The garage and front of house. When the images were shrunk the brick got all funky looking in the pic, sorry. Im sure know one wants me to post the 1.5mb original pic!

This is the view out my back window on my new garage!

The view out the front of my garage, assuming there isnt a house built there. The house next to this lot want to buy the empty lot, plus the plans showed the lot at 85' wide and when they surveyed it, its only 70' wide and they cant build any of the house plans on it. SO I hope the put sod down and call it a day!

This shows all the utilities in the garage. Red are the 2 outlet boxes, blue are the incandescent lights, gray is the cable tv, dark green is the natural gas line for the heater, the first light green is a hose bib and the 2nd light green is the utility tub with hot/cold water

What is the split in the garage roof for? Is there a window back in there?
House is looking great!
When are we all coming over for a detail party? LOL

What's the big propane tank for? Is that going to be your gas source? Or is that left over from some contractor use?

I was just talking with my wife this very morning lamenting the fact that we do not have Cable in the garage. I commend you for your foresight.

It really is coming together now. Nice weather apparently for Michigan. They are puddles in the back yard are the not?

Love brick for a house siding. Have it on mine. Very low maintenance.

Your also have a beautiful veiw to go with such a nice house.

Cannot wait for your first detail in the garage.

Keep the pictures coming!!

Danase, the split on the long side is for the window in the MAster Bathroom. I may just have a detail party when its all done and we move in, however that is about 2.5 months away still.

Setec- I believe the propane tank is for heaters when they do the drywall in the near future. All of our utilites are city and under ground, we have natural gas for heat, etc.

CWCAD- its been beautiful for Michigan this time of year in the 30's and even into the low 40's a few days. The puddles in the backyard are from the tracks from the big trucks fill with water. It will be final graded when the house is all done.

You're gonna love it.
