I got a bunch done this week. We were able to squeeze the block work in between the rain. We had a sunny day today and got most of the brick laid. They should finish all the brick tomorrow.
Hi
red.
I was wondering the way how you guys make your foundations. What I mean by that, is how you don't excavate the surface soil out of the foundations area before you cast the slab. And I have understand that you don't use heat/frost insulators under the slab, instead you put some kind of ground building fabric and concrete reinforcement on top of the fabric and cast on it the slab ?. Doesn't there have not ground frost in winter time at all ?.
I am wondering that because in the first pic, if I am not mistaken, I see little bit of frost on the grass near the foundation.
First when start to read your thread and I saw your pics, I thought to my self that "what the hell kind of airplane hangar he is building ?", then I did compare your garage measurements to my own and I did realize that yours is not after all that enormous compare to mine garage, it is only few feet larger but compared to the men who are standing there, it looks like enormous.
May I ask how much you think that your project will be costing when it is finished ?, just for the comparison how much is the difference building that kind of garage in the US and how much it would cost here in finland. My total estimate for my own project is about 35-40.000 € which equals 38-43.000 $.
