Garage Layouts and Desires

That's crazy...I thought I'd joined the upper crust when I bought jack stands and stopped working under the car propped up on rounds of firewood!

A lift is the only way to roll, if you’re over a certain age, and like to work on your own cars. Definitely beats being on your back in the driveway.

 

[Dobish]

Well, we got a few bids back, and it seems like it might be a go.... I have been walking around the neighborhoods, checking out storage solutions, and mobile workshops.

beer tap on the wall going out to the hot tub might be a later addition though

Taps are seriously overrated, unless you’re really into pinching pennies. Who wants to drink the same beer, two nights in a row?

 

[Dobish]

I'll be penny pinching for sure after this project!

 

[Dobish]

Finally got my permits approved! Now on to scheduling and asbestos abatement.

TapS as in plural. Many taps. That plus a fridge full of whatever odd things you need to feel adequately exposed to sufficient variety.

I’m a hot tubber too and I mostly tend to keep the hobbies separate. I don’t eat dinner in the tub either!

 

[Dobish]

We decided the hot tub was going to go below. Near the stove. That way in the winter we can go from hot tub to hot stove. That, and we got a free tub a month ago and wanted to start using it!

Oh... that puts you in a whole other class!

So, what are you saying... no chainsaws in the hot tub?

i've seen what a hot tub does to a chainsaw blade.....

Not many folks can say that. You meet all kinds, here.

During “disassembly”, I presume?

yep. you should have seen the guys reaction when he hit the metal grab bar!

 

[Dobish]

asbestos was removed yesterday.... only 2 weeks until the garage gas meter is moved (4 months after it was supposed to be). Looking at that roof, maybe i will try and salvage it...

 

[Dobish]

Demo has started... i tore down some of the fence the other day. Gas meter is finally moved. Building goes away tomorrow or thursday!

THis reminds me, I need to get a few rounds of wood so I can change the oil in the splitter...

but in other news, its #DEMODAY:

 

[Dobish]

Lots of rebar...

and finally the concrete!

 

[Dobish]

We have some foundation walls.... french drains and damp proofing on the schedule for today

 

[Ashful]

and finally the concrete!

Concrete from heaven?

 

[Dobish]

Concrete from heaven?

sort of like that... or the 4 cement trucks that showed up.....

 

[Dobish]

made some progress with the dirt removal and the rough grading!

Looking good. Does the service come from the house or is it on it's own?

electric service comes in on its own. no gas in the unit (although we will run a line for future), and water comes from the existing house. Had to upgrade to 1.25" water lines for the new fire suppression system.

passed underground plumbing and radon inspection. Got the gravel spread out, and the insulation finished up this morning. Pouring the lower level slab and the rest of the deck footers scheduled for about 15 minutes from now... hopefully we passed inspection!

 

[sportbikerider78]

Are you insulating the slab?

 

[Dobish]

Are you insulating the slab?

Yep. 2" foam taped along the seams. They poured the slab the other day. I haven't gotten a picture yet... good ole daylight savings time
