The beginning of May we completed demolition by removing the roof shingles, roof sheathing and remaining aluminum siding. The weather was drizzling rain. We experienced one clap of thunder while I was atop the roof holding a lengthy piece of aluminum siding. It didn't take HH long to convince me to put the siding down for a few minutes. What was probably a riskier maneuver was the guys lowering 6 trusses down to the ground while balancing on 2 x 6 joists, 8 feet above the concrete floor.

The far the garage area is now completely exposed, so far the wet has not leached into the side of the garage closest to the house.
There is hope that we will not only cover up the garage but build some more house. Our lumbar framing package arrived last week so technically with permit in place, foundation built and demolition complete we are ready to start framing.
