    Looking great. I hate drywall work. I don't mind hanging it but I won't tape and texture it.

      No texture on this (or any of the other structures recently built here). Smooth finish.

        Nice work. Is it insulated? I have a heat pump on my shop so I can work out there in the winter and summer. It's winter here in Tucson..........yesterday I woke up to 19 degrees, and it got to 56 in the afternoon. Of course, in the summer we can get down to the 70's at night, and 110/115 in the afternoon. The heat pump just makes the shop useable.

          Yes buster...it's insulated (rockwool). This is my wifes garage, and she'll primarily park her car in there and store all her housewares/kitchen/entertaining and patio/party stuff. So not much time spent in that garage (not enough to put any kind of climate control in it). More pics coming soon. There's been alot of progress in the last week.

            If she's like my wife it won't be big enough. Good luck.

                    Amazing how fast you work. That looks great.

                      A few more pics of the progress.
                      At this point, it's all done inside, and the new cabinets mounted, and all the storage racks put back in.
                      My wifes Acadia Denali is now parked back inside.

                      Only a few elements left to finish on the patio side (patio ceiling skin, and patio wall).

                        One more of the front. Still need to put the stackstone rock at the bottom (in the area where there is no color stucco coat)

                          Everything on this garage is done, except for the barnwood siding and stackstone on the one wall under the patio cover
                          Here's the final patio cover with the shiplap underside, recessed lights, and heaters mounted.

                          Next up: bust out all that old patio & planter and do all the underground for sewer line (outdoor sink) & gas line (fire pit and grill) & electrical (pump power for waterwheel & step lights, tree uplights and low voltage landscape lighting around the patio) & water line (outdoor sink + sprinkler valves + hose bib) & drainage lines & whateverelse I have forgotten about. Then regrade it all for new patio (combination of color stamped concrete & pavers)

                              Been a while since I posted on progress here. After the triple bypass I had to have in April, I'm fully back in good shape and working away on this.
                              The latest on this party patio is we've poured 30 yards of new patio surfaces, put in the garden walls, and I'm currently laying up the stackstone surface finishes...
