The garage goes up

This is what I discovered when I next showed up at the building site:

a garage!

The thing with the garage... it uses new technology in timber building where layers of wood are bonded to form beams as strong as steel (insert heroic music here, please).

Great stuff. Unfortunately a large building in town is being built using the same technology... and since we are much smaller fish in the building project pond, our timber supply got bumped. And there were delays - just a couple of weeks, but we are anxious.

So. It's nice to see the garage going up.

Insulation

OK. So we have walls. Next step is insulation...

And since we are in New Zealand, where sheep outnumber people, we use wool batts!

I like that they use old fashioned shearers to cut the batts to size.

I also like the smell - very barn-like. (Greg is not as impressed with this aspect.)
