If that happens they ain't pouring.... I have solid contract and haven't paid for anything till the work is 100% satisfactorily completed.. :) Yeah i am not sure what type of conveyor it is, as i have to imagine this will be 4-5 trucks of concrete for this pour.. Thanks for the tip C96 i'll...

Concrete is coming tmrw... Couple questions and looking for any general tips on what I should look for or ask about to make sure I am getting what i am paying for.. First question, I have laid rebar down and have it on plastic stands to keep it in the middle of the pad. They mentioned...

Got the vapor down and got 80% of the re-bar done, ran out of bars. Originally I was only going to do the two bays, but once I started I said screw it and decided to do the entire floor. Whats another 300 bucks at this point.. :P

Concrete coming tmrw.... Still gotta lay the vapor and finish the rebar tonight.. excited to have a floor though, then i can get the garage doors put in next week.. Starting to come together now..

I am taking the advice... Waiting for the mason to come out and check things out, i'll have to cut the rebar there, but no big deal. Builder said that he's done it both ways 100's of times and doesn't see a major issue either way unless you are heating all winter. (which i am not) I am...

Got half the barn outlets wired today, also got the main lines run to the back wall and the other side. So tmrw i should be able to bang out the rest and get all the outlets in the boxes. My little helper out there with me today, fascinated by the barn.

Finished up wiring all the lights today, got the lines ran down to a switch box. Also added the garage door opener outlets and then one extra for a pull down extension cord reel. Garage openers: Extension cord reel outlet: Then started the rebar for the floor, I am only putting it in the...

yeah i just dont want to finish the space then have the it would be nice to have a line here etc.. Falcon i saw that too, the ones i am looking at at 3x2 and say they hold about 11 runs of 12/2 in them. I would probably only have 4 circuits in them for my outlets, lighting, gargae door, etc...

I guess thats what i am trying to figure out, i know someplaces only allow 4' sections anything more than that is considered subject to damage or something.. The grounding would be in the romex, i just was planning on running romex inside the raceways, just to keep it neat and allow me to add...

I wont be using the sticky back, i would screw it down..

Trying to think for the future, I plan on running 4ft of ply wood up my walls, then an electrical channel around the entire building, then finish above that with metal panels. My goal is to be able to add or change things around the shop if i need to with out have to run conduit every where...

Thanks!! Light Gray and Charcoal Gray.

Yes its very common to put the poles directly in the ground. I plan on putting rebar in, but was still on the fence about two seperate piece of concrete or just putting a controlled cut in between. I bought rebar to re-enforce the pad and also running fibermesh.. I didn't put a vapor...

Got all my lights mounted and wire ran into ceiling to connect later: Also go the entire front dug out and 8" of stone in / compacted, ready for some rebar before the concrete, picked that up today, so i can start that tmrw. Most importantly got my flag up!

While back I found a smoking deal on these lamps: http://www.takethreelighting.com/hew...-high-bay.html I picked up 8 of them for 200 bucks.. 6lamp T8's I have them all wired up and ready to mount them in the newly built shop, its 40x40 with two 14x10 garage doors. I dont think i want any...

Ok got my base in front of the shop back in. Here is what i am thinking, 1" drop from main shop floor to the outside slab. Outside slab 1.5" slop to drain away from the shop. Question is do this in one pour or put a joint between the shop and out side?

Yesterday the crew did the ceiling for me. then I dug out the front so i can get a good base. I am going to extend the cement out 6-10 feet in front of the building. Got more stone coming today. Then I should be ready for concrete.. Ceiling going up: How they had it graded, but the front...
