framing garage

So once again the people start something but can't seem to keep up with the rest of it, leaving the dog, obviously the cat won't do anything, to work on the blog. I've been nobly protecting my bed while new people are pounding away on the house. Above is a panoramic view of the garage with the framing started. Below are a couple of detail shots of the beams they put in, lord knows how, the things are as tall as me.

And on the right is a shot of where the chimney used to be but no more. And now Sean has gone and removed the concrete beam that was holding up the stone facing and the bottom foot of the facing, that's people feet you see. The framers were nice enough to brace the lintel bar, now if you would like to give me a guess as to what was holding the rest up while Sean took out the beam, let me know. Oh well, the garage is coming together.
