Garage progress

Building the garage has been similar to building a second smaller house in the back yard. To recap, we have surveyed, excavated, poured a footing and cribbed a wall, backfilled, run services and conduit, framed, roofed, and now fire proofed and prepped for the slab.  Here are a few pictures of the progress

With framing complete leftover insulation from the house is safely installed in the roof cavity.  

fire resistant drywall is hung between the garage bays to provide a fire rate assembly 

gravel is wetted and compacted to prepare for the slab

A heavier duty jumping jack style compactor is used with greater effectiveness.
