Some pics1

Dug foundation hole on Sunday, did 200 yards of back fill between Monday and today. Pics to come soon.

Cut trees last weekend. Yesterday morning we started with the stump removal, slab removal, and digging the foundation now.

Thanks Major, this is what it looked like when I finished it up. Paint matches house of course.

Just a quick update as I lay my head in shame, lol. Still waiting for my HELOC to come thru, as it is, it will be pretty much be out of pocket so size had to change some. It is now redrawn as a 36wx44Lx12H , kind of ***** to downsize so much, but their will be a few benifits do doing so.

Some yes, but 90% new. All the T1-11 around the base will be recycled.

Well since I get to wait for funding before starting the shop, this is what I did this weekend.

Well it looks like I will be getting a HELOC in order to help with my funding, on top of what I have saved up. Financially it may be better in the long run anyway, and with it being a little smaller, it will just cost me less in heating fuel. I wont be fast tracking the foundation, but still...

Well today was a big bummer. The other bank said that they would also have to underwrite with Fannie Mae, and the appraisal will not come out in my favor too the size of the Out Building (shop). So now its time to figure out alternative sizing to make it feasible to build out of pocket...

Bcb, sounds good, just need for the build to actually start. Dealing with bank issues, hopefully will know if they are going to go forward with the appraisal, or if the other bank is going to say its to big also. Will know within the next 24hrs. Never figured there was going to be this much...

Thanks for the replies guys, going to a different bank on Monday. Should be getting around this problem. Appraisals are two weeks out at the moment, but I will break ground as planned as long as everything is going somewhat smooth up to that point.

Bank I'm working with says Fannie Mae doesn't like that the shop is larger then the square footage of the above grade part of house 1150 vs. 2000. So loan not going as smooth as I would like.

Well as long as appraisal goes well, I will be breaking ground on the 28th of June. We plan on renting a loader, excavator w/thumb, rolling compactor, skid steer with tracks. Have some operator friends coming over for wages.

Well if I was building a 12x12 shed I would be at a good point as I built the base of my wife's new green house today. 2x6 pressure treated with subfloor on top then thompson water sealed. After that I started my handicap ramps for my pup who is having knee surgery this week, just need to put...

So the roof structure in the picture is tore apart, with the good 2x4's in a stack and the rest at the dump. Have been waiting for the only quote I was getting on dirt work and foundation and finally recieved it yesterday. This was a either get some one to do the work (plan A), or rent...

All the salvaged wood will be used on my wifes new green house. lots of good 2x4 rough cut lumber, and a few decent pieces of T1-11. Ill even post a pic of the green house once its complete. Still working with banks on financing. Trying to do a cashout refinance, but they want to do a...

One small step closer. Have lots of nails to pull out. Structure was made with some nice 2x4 ruff cut lumber.

What has to come down to make room for the new garage.

Sockeye. monolithic slab, 5" 4000 PSI, Rebar reinforced. Yep going to be a big shop. Was originally 50x60 but got to expensive, knocked alot off by doing 40x50, which is 1/3 less the floor space.

I'm located Fairbanks, we have just got done with one of our longest winters on record:(. Almost 80 above today.
