When did you order out of curiosity.

I must be the only person who has had a bad experience with Weaver. I ordered the W10-Pro black back in April, for a June 9th delivery date. So far my lift has been sent to the wrong warehouse and they tried to extort me out of additional shipping for thier mistake, and when I refused they...

Is it worth it to calk around the block edge? I have noticed since of course the framers left food, cups, a d trash everyday that there are ants all alone the inside of the building, I have sprayed but I wonder if it's worth sealing it with some kind of calk while it's easially accessable. Also...

Yea, I'll post more on the car when I can actually put it in the building, right now I have a lot of parts "saved up" waiting to get it in the shop. New Fuel system, new line lock, new motor. Nerdy in terms of what else will go in there most likely, right now its looking like in the next 18...

and the framing work so far, rain has kept the crew away for most of the week. But with any luck they will be done next week, and we can move on. Running into an issue getting the garage door, I moved up to a 10' tall door, US company made the door no problem, but having a problem getting the...

Updates, concrete and starting the framing.

Had to go get some sand to cover the exposed pipe that will be the sewer connection ... Just a note my local Lowes doesn't care what your drive, if you tell them to load it, they will load it .. 2k lbs of sand in a Tacoma .. fun drive home, luckily it was only about 3 miles.

Update time, pandemic not withstanding, the progress continues. I have talked myself into several (expensive) changes already ... more on that later. Current state - footers poured, foundation done, plumbing roughed in, rock laid, hopefully inspection pre-slab comes Monday and we are pouring...

Finally some progress, builders showed up Monday and started the footings. Got them all dug, back filled with gravel where needed and have the concrete truck showing up tomorrow morning to pour the footings, of course if the rain holds off.

Luckily its 2 90º turns and only about 60' long of a run, going to be running the electrical in a schd. 40 2" PVC conduit. I am going to run the wire though the shop side first and then thread the rest though the straight conduit as its buried so I don't have to pull the whole length, the feeder...

Also in Wilson :thumbup: Took a ex plumber buddy with me to lowes today to get some things for the conduit over the footers today, that's the way i'll go, hopefully I can get some drawings soon so I have an idea of the location.

That's the crux of my question, most of what I can find has been done that way, I just wondered if there is a "better" way to do it. For me the main reason I am thinking of coming over the foundation with a 90º up through the center of the block stem wall then through the base board into the...

Yea that's the plan, I am in charge of digging the extra where the lift will go before the concrete truck comes. I plan to do a 40" section the entire width of the building starting at 14' from the front door to be at least 6" deep just in case I want to move the lift to the other side of the...

Permits got approved about 10 days ago, dealing with a lot of rain in my area so probably we more than a week before any work can get started. I need to start considering how to pull the electrical and what is needed for rough in's for plumbing and gas before construction gets started. Is...

I am not familiar with that specific radio but if it has removable antenna the general rule is you can use coax or antenna wire on that connection to improve reception. This is an interesting issue, I would have thought florescent would have caused more "noise" than LED, I plan to run HAM...

Just signed the updated contract, and the plans have been sent to the draftsman for plans and elevations. Maybe we can start around the first of Feb, that would be nice. I'll add some other thoughts here for what my plans are after the contractors are gone, listed in order of completion...

that's good 469, glad to hear things are on par, but its still just an expensive time to build, well at least to hire out right now. And I expect material cost are up there right now too, after the contractor finishes, I will be completing the inside myself so lots of DIY and material cost.

The current state of the build site, I have removed at total of 24 trees from the back yard, I am looking for a before pic.

Base price here was $53/sf without any electrical. I am at $80/sf with options, still no electrical service and some things to add. I did almost all the site prep myself, skimped on brick surround to lower the cost (used block on back and sides). Notably this does include quite a bit of...
