HAHAHA! I can smell a set up a mile away! LOL! But I'll PLAY! LOL!!! Local codes are one thing whether you follow or believe or even use them, that's your business. The National Electrical code will always take precedence. No Biggie. It's your project do it how you want. Like someone above...

Don't have to tell me brother I made a living and a fortune off of others mistakes! Preach to da choir! Merry Christmas! LTF

I know that the code doesn't allow the two utilities to be installed underground closer the 3 feet apart that's why it makes it harder to put them both in the same trench. These codes and regs. are for Safety reasons as water and Electric don't really mix! LTF

It never hurts to keep fans moving air to eliminate condensation weather it's ceiling fans or others. Air movement is important! LTF

Just a completed follow up as I really didn't get a lot of help full advice her but there were a few good points by some and I just blocked out the negative comments as I cleaned out the small amount of chipped, cracked and possibly weak grout joints and using a carbide wheel on a cordless...

I've got a set of Lyle's that look similar to the red and black pro grip set of 5 in the pic. I like mine a lot but I wouldn't hesitate to try that set in the pic! At first I thought it was a Lyle. LtF

Options; I have done this with success on more than one occasion and I was taught the approved method and easiest most successful way without problems down the road is after you do your cut down Install a 1/4" thick x 11 1/2" wide x length steel flitch plate on end vertically that's preferably...

All the above will work. Today most use a hand held Quick cut saw as there's different makes out there but not economical to buy for a few bricks as they use similar dry cutting diamond blades similar to the grinder mentioned. Find a local mason shop and go there and have them cut them for you. LTF

I've also got the Red Goodyear hoses for years now and no problems! LTF

It might be old but it's good! A lot of great info here! "Heck Grandma was old too but we didn't throw her away!" :ROFLMAO: LTF

I completely understand the open ended daylight pipe theory and yes that will work also as a strainer on the open end outside is always a good idea to keep varmints out. Now the question comes up about trapped water sitting and freezing and the pipe not being buried enough to stop the freeze...

Nothing wrong with that idea if that's whats needed or wanted. So with that in mind you're eliminating the whole catch basin idea which is designed to catch dirt and debris and cleaned out manually by hand.(maintenance) Without your washing any and all dirt and possible debris into your pipe and...

That will work fine and you can adjust the height of the pipe into the crock by the length of the short skunk piece we used to call it. That's a reverse double 45 installation as we used to refer to it as a single 45 will also work heading into the crock but in both installation's make sure that...

Use the 16x16 and put a 45 on the pipe creating a running trap and angle the straight piece of pipe coming out of the 45 as it will be lower at the basin and as the water rises in the crock it will drain out the pipe. Did it for many years as a contractor! LTF

As I agree with the above comments on replacing. What about liquid Teflon? LtF

Looks nice! What kind of oil did you use? When I made mine I learned to use food grade oil! LtF

So if you have plenty of ventilation and you don't need this vent for cross ventilation and you want to block up the hole then go ahead and do so with the same material that's on the foundation wall now that's existing and I'm not sure what that conduit is for but you can work around that and...

In our climate where we live we don't put the vents below grade as yours is as we don't want water running in and the way yours is you've got poor air flow to beat being below grade. If you cant raise it I would look at building a type of snorkel and get the air flow above ground and block all...

I did something similar 40 years ago and never had a problem! My wife can smell a paint can when it's opened and it gives her a headache so I'm careful what I use as the fan is on almost constantly and it gives great air movement which is good anyways! LtF

I love everything about your project! I always loved the gambrel style roof especially if it's trussed with above storage! LtF
