    Wow you're really going to town on that. I love building stuff.

    Just looked closely at your avatar....what headlights do you have in your Nomad?

      Heck, I forgot several years ago when I bought them. They weren't too expensive if I recall. Might have even gotten them from Amazon.
      They have LED's around the halogen bulb. but not completely circular in pattern.

        Maybe United Pacific? I'm getting ready to order some LED7s from Dapper Lighting and I was wondering if that's what you had. They have a 20% off sale going on right now.

          Dapper lighting doesn't sound familiar. United Pacific does sound familiar. I think I got those.

            Yesterday's progress. Starting to get the covered patio framed in got all the beams hung now. More work coming on Friday.
            Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you get some family and friends time in, along with a belly full of good food and your favorite beverage!

                The latest on my wifes garage redo. Patio cover added onto the side for the (soon to be redone) party patio.

                    Nie! I better not let my wife see it or she'll want her own garage. I already have to build her a greenhouse.

                        Progress continues. Today we got the comp shingle roof on.

                        And all the wiring is in the walls.

                        Next up, install the rockwool insulation, the get the drywallers in here.

                              Those plants have been in pots for 5+ years now, awaiting the time when they can be planted in the ground (when we get to the landscaping phase of this project). So for now, they get hose watered regularly. And moved around to be out of the way as we encroach with the next phase of construction.

                                Update for the 4 of you that are looking:

                                Drywall going up today. Should be able to paint it by the weekend if the nice weather holds out here. Best part about this is that I"M NOT THE ONE HANGING OR FINISHING IT! These 2 guys had it all up yesterday, and taping/mudding it today. Couple of days from now it will be ready for paint.
                                Stucco starts next Monday.
                                Siding on the front will be a mix of cement board (James Hardie products) and on the patio side, some of the patina'd 1x6 lumber that came off the old garage structure as I tore it down. To give it a reminder of the old garage it replaced.
                                It's cold here (30 at night, 55 daytime high). That's not so cold where many of you all are from though. Winter is here for everyone in the northern hemisphere.

                                Onward!
