Every week on these projects feels like a step closer to the finish line, and this past one was no exception. From hanging drywall to sanding a one-of-a-kind desk, things are buzzing on all fronts.

Garage Build: From Open Space to Real Room

The garage project is transforming fast. Insulation? ✅ Passed. Back wall? ✅ Framed. Ceiling drywall? ✅ In place.

And now—we’re tackling the walls! Drywall is going up today, which is always a turning point. Once the walls are in, the space suddenly feels like a room instead of just a framed shell. Monday, we’ll have the drywall inspection, and then it’s on to tape, mud, and smoothing things out for a polished finish. Every sheet brings us closer to closing this build in tight before the colder weather rolls in.

Deck Replacement: Another House, Another Transformation

Different property, different city, but just as much progress. The new deck is moving from foundation to frame, with the top of the stairs and railing posts already taking shape. This is the stage where you can really see how it’s going to live—how people will walk it, gather on it, and enjoy it. Right now, it’s lumber and bolts, but soon it’ll be a space for grilling, relaxing, and soaking in the outdoors.

Secret Room: The Desk That Won’t Quit

Then there’s the “secret room,” home to the most ambitious desk we’ve ever built. This isn’t just a desk—it’s a centerpiece, designed to anchor the whole space.

But first, sanding. Lots and lots (and lots) of sanding. It’s the not-so-glamorous part, but it’s what makes the paint finish look flawless. We’ve been at it for a while, but that’s because this desk isn’t just big—it’s luxury-level big. Once painted, it’s going to be a jaw-dropper, worth every pass of the sandpaper.

Why These Steps Matter

Sure, drywall, framing, and sanding aren’t the flashiest updates. But these are the milestones that make the final reveal possible. Each screw, each sheet of drywall, each railing post, each sanded corner—it’s all laying the groundwork for the wow factor that’s coming.

And that’s why we’re excited. Every week we’re moving from plans and prep to spaces that people will live in, work in, and make memories in.

👉 Stick with us—we’re not far from the big reveals, and trust us, they’ll be worth the wait.

Big progress on the garage build this week! We officially passed our insulation inspection ✅, which means the space is sealed and ready for the next phase. From here, it’s all about framing and drywall prep — the steps that turn an empty shell into a real, usable room.

This is the part of the project where things start to feel real. The studs are up, the shape of the room is defined, and before long drywall will be going in to complete the structure.

Why This Step Matters

• Energy efficiency – With insulation and framing in place, the garage will stay comfortable year-round.

• Durability – Proper framing sets the stage for everything that follows.

• Momentum – Passing inspections and framing walls means we’re right on schedule.

What’s Next

Up next: drywall installation. That’s when the space will really start to feel finished. The plan is to push this project across the finish line by the end of September — and we’re well on track.

Stay tuned for more updates as this build keeps moving forward.
