FINALLY got to working on the shop... er garage again in late August to get the siding on and am happy to say that the siding is complete now with the exception of some metal trim around the overhead doors and walk-in door.  As Susan says, it's about time we quit advertising for Tyvek!

Next steps besides the trim work will be to correct some bracing issues inside to the satisfaction of the inspectors, then install the other garage door opener, then get cracking on the ceiling electrical for the lighting and the ceiling itself so that we can insulate it before winter.  THEN we can work on Cornelia in "relative" comfort :-)

Then I'll need to get the electrical in the side walls and insulate them as well, but I'm not sure I'll get that far... we'll certainly try.  I'm just happy to have completed the siding by myself (for the most part - Susan and the boys washed it for me last weekend) over the past three weeks while also doing my web design.

With respect to Cornelia, things are on hold a bit, not just due to the garage, but due to funds.  The exhaust is falling off Woody, the '96 F-250 and I need to replace the entire system from the manifold back, which won't be cheap.  I hope to have that done next week.  Then we're going to take Woody to Indiana to buy a rebuilt motor for Cornelia and take Cornelia's current motor out and set it aside for a proper rebuild while we have something to drive.  Does that make sense?  I hope so - the point is that I want Susan to experience this truck a little before we really start to take her apart for the restoration...
