Don't look now, but somebody is putting up walls on your slab!

It's easy enough to do; I IM'd Luke with some info on it last week but haven't heard anything back from him. I've got some webspace but apart from not knowing how much bandwidth it might take, I don't want to steal any of Luke's thunder...

It's all moot now...I hadn't realized that my friend who helped level the pitrun just shoveled sand over the pipes and hadn't done any compacting under or around them. When I checked the flange's height tonight, the whole pipe was shifting around...so I dug the sand out, raised the pipe to the...

Around a 1/2" low...the floor won't be poured until Thursday, although all the poly and mesh is in place now.

I wound up about 14" away from the wall. Apart from it being a concrete wall (position won't change!), I'm the carpenter and the plumber, so everyone is talking nicely. At least for the moment. I think I might have set the flange a bit too low though...debating whether I should dig it up and...

I see you gave the maid the year off... ;-P

That actually looks rather useful for household tasks...load up the tools for the job you're doing, return them to their normal storage on completion...

As a 'member' of the Great White North, I started school learning the Standard/Imperial measurement system, then was forced to learn the metric system later on in elementary school. Man, did that mess me up. Although I'm relatively comfortable using both systems now, I get some wierd looks...

I think I'd be inclined to exchange the positioning of your workbench and the bicycles/open shelving. With your current setup, accessing the workbench looks like it means moving the Miata out of the garage. Which would you use more frequently - the shelves or the workbench? Is there room for...

Our house has precious little dry/heated storage, so my garage has been acting as a catch all. I do have a couple sheds in the back for all the garden tools and auto parts storage, but room to actually move/work in the garage is...ummmm...non-existent. (Another garage-junky nightmare!) The...

:eyecrazy: I think it werked

I'm roughing in some of the plumbing before I pour my garage's floor slab...what is the best distance from the wall to position the discharge pipe for the toilet? My biggest worry is putting it too close to the walls...

Have you considered a gallery, like Coppermine?

Great looking shop...and love those toys!

It was discussed pretty extensively in this thread: http://www.garagejunkies.net/showthread.php?t=2165

You could always tie it into your perimeter drain (if you have those in Cali!), assuming that you would never be sending any vast quantities of water down there.

They need to heal quickly - they keep doing those kinds of things... :eyecrazy: What's that saying about old age and treachery....? :evil:

I'm doing a 30' x 30' on Vancouver Island as well...been keeping a spreadsheet of materials/costs, which you're more than welcome to once it's pretty much done. If you're going to do most of the work yourself, you should manage close to 20k, but it depends on what happens with material costs as...

Well done on the win! I've been to most of the Volksfests over the years, always a good time. I've had a slew of bugs over the years, and am down to just 4 for the moment. I'm "Clay" in the vvwc forums

Looking good Tim...is that Wilkie in the background? I'm up in Duncan myself, and happen to turn wrenches on beetles too. You wouldn't happen to be on the vvwc.ca site would you?
