Wow!! Looks like you've had your share of challenges in getting the build this far. Hopefully now that it's dried in and final grade done things will go smoother from here on out.

Looks like a great house on a great lot. Good luck finishing it out. Please keep us posted as it goes along.

Thanks and yes its exciting. I can't deny some stress but for the most part I'm still on the having fun side. The whole reason this started was schooling and now that the kids have started we are 100% right on the change. The school dynamics are much more about success then just completion. I said I wanted a larger garage if I'm moving and this what we ended up with.

Thanks for the update!

BTW I love that garage design, My wife likes the house part too.

Since we are finally to the point where its relevant to the site I have decided to go with a Rotary 2 post 10,000lbs. I originally was looking at the BendPak but after talking to a local Rotary dealer who had a used one I decided to go that route. Any reason to stay away from Rotary? Something i've never had before. Can't wait to change my oil.

It's looking great... It rains every other day once you decide to build a house.

How long has it been since you broke ground and approximate finish date? I'm right at 8 months on mine and my GC is telling my Sept 30th, but I'm not buying it.

Great group of pics. Congrats on what looks to be a cool house.

We broke ground April 23rd. Having never GC a project like this but I have been saying Thanksgiving. The bank only extended a 6 month construction loan. I'm glad I jumped the gun on breaking ground almost a month before closing otherwise I don't think I'd stay in that time frame.

Greg thanks for chiming in on the lift.

Thanks to everybody else for checking it out.

You better turn on the afterburners!

Rotary lifts are top notch - I'm on my third one! Not ever a single issue. And American Made.... I'm always willing to "pay up" for that.

HOUSE IS STELLAR!! Don't know how I missed the thread!! And sorry --- not sorry -- I got a good belly laugh out of the stuck machinery! I can only imagine the effort all of that took!

I'll back that up - my Rotary is 10 years Old and never a problem!
