Well I just got the low down from my 9 yr old nephew who was with him during the incident.  All was on the up and up and it was just a plain old accident with nothing else involved. Going to my nephews game tomorrow am.   ( The guy who is helping me is his coach)    Need to buy a few supplies tomorrow and we will get at it.  It should be warmed up a bit.  Got most of the siding down this afternoon as we will need to replace one sheet of plywood  3 studs and the corner stud I think.  Luckily I have 2 boxes of siding left over from the build, but I was able to save alot of it.

HUGE PROPS TO SHANNON COLTON  OF COLTON CONSTRUCTION AND BRIAN KOAGEL MY BROTHER IN LAW.     The garage is almost back to snuff, the hole is no more. Just have to do a little siding when it warms up and some odds and ends.

We were able to save alot of it and the temporary propping I did was good enough to just screw into place with a little adjustment.   The header joint looked good , but we braced it up anyway.   Zipped off the OSB that was bad and replaced and tyvecked all weatherproofed up and structurally sound.   This was my sisters best friends husband and I coached his son in Little league for a few years.   I cannot say enough for the appreciation I have for this guy to come over and help me out.   He does it for a living so and in watching him I know I am good to go with everything.   He owns a pretty big construction company and had all the right tools  and know how this made  it a piece of cake.   You all know I offered to pay him for time and materials he used and he would have nothing to do with it.   All in I have a tube of caulk, 2 sheets of OSB  4 2x4s (we only needed 2)  and a roll of house wrap into.   So I am blessed at around $100 for the repair.   The wrap  was the most as I only needed about 10 square feet, but had to buy a roll at $45.  I have a chicken coop project lined up this summer so it will go to good use.   Thanks for all the good words and keeping me in a good frame of mind over it.    My dad is the best guy in the world and like others have said look at the crap I probably put him through and the stuff I wrecked of his.  
 
 
I do seem to remember at 17 years old I was told I could take the 6 month old car up to the river with by younger brother, but I was only go to Pineville and not pick up any friends.   Needless to say in front of the Sportsman hole with 2 friends in the back I got in an accident.  The only thing that was said was  "as long as everyone is OK..........."

Clint, I had to do a similar repair last year but thank God it wasn't during the winter.  The only difference was that I did it by myself.  I'm sure the neighbors had a good laugh watching me hang a 4X8 sheet of plywood all by my lonesome. 
 
A quick fly tying tip.  Take some of that left over tyvek, cut into 1/4 inch wide strips (or whatever width you prefer) and use it to make wing cases for nymphs/stoneflies.  Just color the tyvek with a Pantone or permanent ink pen.  The stuff is indestructible.
