    I think i need to talk with the fire marshal. I know i could use city water....if I had *** to feed the fire sprinkler. I also know I could use my well to feed a sprinkler system. But I know my current well setup wont work due to the gpm being on 16ish. So....i would pump my well water...

    Do I need these - Truss supports?

    I was talking to my engineer about this. His comment....everyone is making a wild **** guess. Without knowing loads, exposure, wind, soil type, compaction, footing type, depth, roof material, underlayment if any, truss design and calcs, he thinks we are just guessing. He said lots of...

    2 water pumps..... Fire sprinkler and domestic uses

    The check valve would be between each pump and the single water supply. Not between pumps. By making them parallel after the pump...and combing the two outputs prior to the pressure tank....the pressure relay would tell pump 1...which starts when the psi drops to 40... to go. If for some...

    2 water pumps..... Fire sprinkler and domestic uses

    Fire sprinkler pumps here cost between $3200 and $4800 here in Washington. Must meet 26gpm, 30 psi, 45' lift to the sprinkler heads....coming from an above ground tank. Why not get 2 pumps from Amazon and run them in parrellel?. I could set the first at 40/60 psi and the second at 30/50 psi...

    New footing poured the wrong size

    The footing is 8" by 8". The concrete stub wall is already poured on top. The 42"×42" corner is 12" thick. What I am learning is that i can't trust my county inspector... I can't trust my general And I can't trust subs. So, I will be watching the project much....much closer. And yes...

    New footing poured the wrong size

    Haven't started the house and garage build page yet....shortly... But I was reading my blueprints to ensure I knew how many gutter downspout drains to connect....when I realized they misses a 42"×42"×12" pad and a 36"×36"×12" pad. Glad I caught but you would have hopes the county inspector...

    $11k for trusses?!?!?! Time for rafters...to save 8k??$

    Well, I got one heck of a deal on offer-up. The short is a local guy had 12 40' double trusses from a building they took down a few months back. I had a structural engineer meet me there and he said for 300 he will run the calcs. They are made out of 2x12's! Best part, I got the...

    $11k for trusses?!?!?! Time for rafters...to save 8k??$

    So I just figured out the the rafter ties need to be at the bottom if possible....but bottom 3rd would work. That puts my ceiling height at 10' plus 3.8' That works. I just think I would need to support the ties midway through the whole workshop as there are spans for 30' like I would need...

    Just got an updated price for my trusses...and they went up.. to a little over $11k (40x82). Why don't we use rafters more?? Trying to figure alternatives over the weekend when it hit me...literally, I hit my head on my dad's rafters installing some lights for him. I stopped....looked around...
