Shop walls

We had a few days of nice weather and the snow was pretty much gone. I was able to get the two side walls of the shop up. More snow moved in as I was finishing up. Almost ready for roof trusses.


The picture below is looking at the front of the garage, from the road.



The first 24' will have scissor trusses on 10' tall walls:


The last 16 feet will have attic trusses on 8 foot tall walls The attic trusses are two feet tall at the ends so the roof line will all be even. 




It is nice to make some progress on the shop. We gave up a lot to go mortgage free and it will be a long road until the house is done but it will be worth it to not have to make that monthly payment for 30 years! If we would have stayed in our other place, we eventually would have paid a total of $750,000 to own it! Life is too short for that!
