Since the framing is there, it probably makes sense to wait until the drywall is on. Then use flashing.

Thank you @NeoBrew ! This would probably be a good option. I was trying to think of a way to build up the sides somehow.

Builder said he would seal the control joints and the perimeter. Of course the perimeter is now covered with framing so it is unclear how that will happen.

It's the snow and rain dripping from a car that's the primary issue, and really mostly just snow. But there are times when your wheel well gets full of snow and ice and those are big chunks just slowly melting on the slab, sometimes for days in colder weather. I'm also now curious if, on humid...

Agreed on the timing. When we built our house, the original builder said if you want to know if something leaks, spray it with a hose for 10 minutes and wait. I told my wife I was going to do that this weekend and she said not to. Legally speaking, if I caused the leak, that could hurt us in...

Ugh. First major build snag. Had a big rain yesterday afternoon and there was leaking down into the brew room. No roof on the garage so obviously way more water than would ever be on the floor above it, but it definitely does leak down to the brew room. And garage floor does not drain well...

Yeah, I talked to the builder and he said basically the same thing. Fill the void with backer rod and then vulkem or something similar to seal over it.

I found some caulk roll in an online search so that might be a good solution to fill in the void between the panels. Then put on however wide a bead of paintable caulk is needed to cover that up. Then if it ever needs replaced, it won't be too hard to do.

An idea I had is maybe using wood over the seams? Not quite sure the best way to do that or if that would even look good. Plus it might screw up the low profile lighting.

Looking for some advice here. Anyone have any ideas how to fill in the seams between the panels in the ceiling? The gaps are probably an inch wide and maybe an inch deep, give or take. Not sure if grout is the way to go since it might fall out as it dries. Obviously I'd like it to match the...

Footings for stairs

Patio got poured on Friday. And some grout was put into some gaps between the wall and the panels.

100A panel is installed and lower wall is framed. They decided the panel would be easier to install on the existing concrete wall instead of in the framed wall so I'm going to ask the builder if we can put a casement window in the framed wall now.

Yep. The back of the new room is approximately at daylight while the front of the room is approximately at the grade of the existing driveway. There was a retaining wall there so it was either bring in a bunch of fill or dig it out for a room. Both options cost money so we might as well get...

Yes, a garage. Those panels were engineered for it. Lots of steel inside the concrete. Or someone is getting sued if a car falls through.

Panels are in

Waiting for the truck with the panels

Getting some prep work done before the garage floor panels get installed tomorrow. 100A wiring was run from the main panel. Interior door was framed.

Yep

The walls will not be framed (except where the exterior door is going to be) so I will have lots of flexibility for sockets. And I plan to have a lot of them. The electrician is coming on Tuesday to run the wire for the 100A subpanel.
