Awesome project! I'll be following along.

More baby steps. Footing and rebar inspection passed.

Hey look - rebar! Calling for inspection tomorrow.

Sounds good. Let me know (y) I've used these venturi vacuums before and they're pretty neat. Does your Vacu Dog state a required vacuum level? Usually the limiting factor for these is the overall inHg they can provide. If not, there's tons available on Amazon for ~$10 that might be worth a...

Sorry for the situation that made this possible, but good to hear you're making the best of it. I'll be following along.

Did you make it through the storms / tornadoes unscathed? My neighbors lost a 100+ year old oak. I could print those hooks at work and have them shipped over to you if you'd like. We have a couple printers dedicated to ultra high temp materials for weld fixturing and the like.

Took another big step this weekend by getting the slab insulation and PEX ran for radiant heat. It was honestly all pretty smooth and I had a hand later in the day to help wrangle the PEX, which made it go so much smoother. Uponor has such a helpful piece of software on their website to help...

Well hey there, neighbor! I've been following your thread for a while. I think it was about a year ago I was going to help you install some shocks and springs on the GTI. You're right. No alley and living in an old part of NE Mpls is a blessing in terms of lot size. I'm trying to make the...

It's been unseasonably rainy here the last month and a half. There was a 3 week stretch where it at least sprinkled every single day. Needless to say, there's been delays. But good news! The concrete guys have been working this week. First to remove the old slab. I had to work that day so I had...

I've been telling my wife this for years. I think she's broken.

Thanks! Happy to have you along. I spent the day taking down a small tree, clearing some brush, and just generally tidying while I wait for concrete. Speaking of, concrete contractor called and said they're a few days behind because of all the rain. Hopefully it stays just a few days 🙃 I've...

Let me know if you figure out how to remedy this. Mine looks identical. :mad:

No updates for this week, unfortunately. Had to travel for work, but the silver lining is that it came after teardown and while I'm waiting for concrete. Spent the week visiting and checking on project progress at our Costa Rican plant. I was supposed to have most of Sunday free to actually do...

Thanks for the support! That must have been such a riot to ride off the lot in '74. And at 16 years old no less. Same year as mine. I love all the SOHC Hondas of that era, but the 350/400s are just so fun.

Thanks for stopping in, Steve. I'm going to be combing through your thread over the next few weeks 🍻

How have I missed this thread?! I've got my reading cut out for me.

All of the concrete is going away. Hard to tell from this picture, but it's extremely cracked and tired. It will be replaced by 4.5" thick 4500 psi pad. Don't worry, the tools are all safe. It's just a constant game is Tetris getting everything put away at the end of every night 😂 Thanks...

Following!

The second dumpster was dropped off last night so I was able to finish up the teardown. It's funny how perspective can change on size so often. This previous garage was objectively tiny, but when I had it all cleared out it seemed nearly livable. But now that I'm looking at just the concrete...

Thanks for following along!
