3 car attached garage

After I got the roof sheeted it was time to move on to the garage. I dug the front porch and garage footers and poured the footers. I had planned ahead and had rebar coming out of the ICF where the garage and front porch stem walls would attach so they would be anchored to the ICF. I choose to stick build the garage just because the cost vs stick build and also square footage. After pouring the stem walls for the garage I formed a curb and poured the garage slab. We then framed out the garage which went really really quick. We had some snow move in which made it hard installing the trusses and the sheeting. It was the first time I ever shoveled a roof so I could finish it plus it was in the single digits outside......cold.  We worked hard and fast and was able to get the rest of the shingles on just in time for a huge rain storm that came through. Well, no leaks so I was good. 
    We were working as hard and as fast as we could to get the home completely weathered in. My plan is to have the brick installed in the spring as the weather would be more favorable and I didn't want to have any problems with the brick.
