Garage Begins

Doesn't look much like 5hrs of work, but the garage has been started.
Spent a lot of time making runs to Lowes, and mounting the wedge bolts on the bottom took a long time.  Also removed the existing wiring and setup a temporary power outlet connected to the 3-way light, and wired 2 4' shop light fixtures so that I can finally have some light while working.  Hopefully I'll finish framing the front this weekend, then I'll have the code inspector check it out before I get the garage door installed.  Plan is to use a 10'x7' brushed aluminium and frosted glass garage door.  The door won't be centered, rather offset to the left a little.  I also think going with a 10' wide door will give more of an impression of a large garage rather than a dinky single-car look, which I prefer.
