Day 2' , only 16' to go.

Day 1 of framing done. 64' of 160'. I'm tired now!!!

Wish me luck, gonna start doing some layout and framing today. Weather here was terrible the last couple days with lots of rain. Best part is next weekend is a 4 day weekend, so lots can happen then, even though I plan on taking a day off sometime to go do some diving.

Drains into 55 gallon barrel, buried into septic rock. No code where I'm at.

I made them myself. Work as a union sheet metal worker. Spend my days fabricating and welding.

Yep 2ea 12' long floor drains

Lumber showing up tomorrow morning to do walls, trusses, and roof.

Nice and smooth.

Long day today, expensive day tomorrow. 12-1300 rebar ties, my wife felt sorry for me and did a couple hundred which helped out a bunch.

Yep, like ovs said. I was told that even with building it myself, I would never be able to recoup even the price of materials if the next owner would have to get a traditional loan. Doesn't mean that the right buyer wouldn't pay the difference, just that Fannie Mae would not. Its working out...

That all depends on your definition of civilization? Lol. Fairbanks is the farthest north white mans city, and I'm one the farthest north citizens of Fairbanks. Hope that made sense.

All staked, leveled, and part of rebar in. Now just insulation, grid, and drains tomorrow and were ready to pour.

Not really to worried about it, I put Thompson water seal all over the place before sheeting it, and after. Plan on doing the same thing every season after dumping the plants for the winter. Has been a good green house so far, lots of veggies this summer.

I know when I stopped in yesterday the dispatcher had said they had been working 7-days a week for awhile, I will let you know tomorrow if it comes with a Sunday premium. We do have a short building season. Road restrictions were in effect up to my house all the way into mid-june. I'll update...

Very good chance I will be doing the pour next Sunday. This is where I will be hiring the pros to come in, I don't anything to do with that part.

This is what 210 yards of gravel looks like $$$.

My main helper, next to a modified 55 gallon barrel, now encased in 7 of the 10 yards of septic rock I ordered.

Ready for form boards and rebar now, got the french barrel drain installed today. Picture to follow soon. Also go got my shed re leveled today, so now I can start putting firewood back into it.

Well waiting for one more 10 yard load to show up to finish, as I need a little more to finish sculpting the footers. Did some compacting tonight, and ordering form board material, insulation, vapor barrier, rebar, etc. tomorrow so hopefully can do the poor next weekend. Need to build my floor...
