Off topic ..........Am I seeing your OSB on the rear wall not breaking on nailers? I would think over time there may be some bulking issues...........

7' X 4' would be rough frame..........

A little over the top for a shop bathroom but the wife was tired of hunkering down behind the shop and spraying her ankles...........gives us a place to sleep off a few adult beverages as well, seeing as the shop is about 6 miles from the current house.

Minding ones own bussiness and good fences make for good neighbors.........

Don't see why not if you incorporated some steel reinforcment into the bottom of the side walls to tie the floor to the opening.

After the pour and removal of the forms I poured the bottoms (sack-crete) on a grade so it would all drain one way, one through the other. Twice a year I pull the grates and vacum the leaves and debris from them. I can wash vehicles under the carport with no water entering the building.

I formed mine up before the pour, used some grating off a radar tower I demod...............

Should have known I would find you here............... Guys I've been a long time customer of Leanna's ........top notch individual to do business with, second to none when it comes to her abilities and customer service.

Thanks Dave............... Contractually I may be wrong.... But I know wrong when I see it.......

Torque, I wish this was the only issue. Unfortunately the contractor has dozens more cut, grind and welding areas to attend to due to the railing being manufactured with short and long flags that meet up to other sections at a 90* angle to adjust for the required 4" max between sections. Some...

Slip joint, interior pipe welded into one section, slip fit into the next to allow for expansion/contraction. These are at the same location, top rail, bottom rail. The inconsistencies vary top to bottom > bottom to top, some joints are fine. The prefabbed sections come in 12-14' sections. How...

Thanks for the input guys, I agree the design engineer (employed by the client) definitely dropped the ball when the shops were submitted and they approved them with out a set +/- tolerance. Still awaiting the RFI response to see how the dust settles. I guess 1/4" nominal could mean any...

Stephen......FAA standards have been provided....the railing was originaly designed as a continuosly welded item as to provide a continuos grounding guard (as per 19e) for the ALSF-2 lighting system mounted on the pier. The design change came about to address exspansion and contraction issues...

38chevy.....I do agree as to it being cosmetic, at the same time there are spec's to the cosmetic's of the product......btw ...4" overlap in the joint. Side note : Been a problematic contractor from the start....has not met any critical milestone dates.

I am wondering if I'm being too **** with a contractor. My position is a Resident Engineer overseeing FAA projects. Project: .5 mile pier into a river Issue: Shop drawings that were submitted for the 1 mile of handrail note a 0.25 nominall exspansion joint between sections of railing...
