Am I understanding you right?

you are going to bury a water line and another conduit in the same trench as the power?

That's a no-no around here. As Far as I know that is a no-no everywhere, there needs to be separation.

What cable did you run out to your building?

Building looks terrific.

Casmurbax, no idea what kind of cable, but it's heavy as heck, and the conduit is for fiber.

That requirement varies by city and county. As a practical matter, most permitting agencies will check zoning, setback, allowable building type and size, none of which requires detailed plans. They typically provide no meaningful review of plans. The most they will do is check to see that all plan sheets are stamped.

In Glendale CA (borders LA) city engineers spend weeks checking your engineers calculations, asking for clarifications, and they always ask for some stupid F'n change. And if it is new, they want to make sure the trim color doesn't clash with the walls. And don't even get me started if you want to put up a sign : )

Would you use Champion again for your building? I'm getting ready to do a 50 x 80 in Denver, NC.

Thanks for the continuing progress reports.

Got the security gate installed today (should keep my dog safe in the garage), and more gravel was delivered for grading the area around the garage apron. I also ordered the final building inspection from the County.

Without a doubt. Excellent service.

Good to hear. I talked to Jim at Champion last week. He was very helpful and shared a lot of good information.

Did you have Champion do the concrete and erection too?

Yes, all I had to do was permits, grading, garage doors, electric, concrete aprons and step out for man-door, and HVAC.

BTW, I passed the county final inspection on Friday!

Congrats on the final. Looks like a really nice building. I'm getting ready to put a deposit down this week.

Looks like 1:12 pitch, with galvalume roof? Charcoal color? Is there anything you would change about the building now that you have it up.

35x50x16, 2:12 roof, Hawaiian Blue roof, Charcoal walls, 3" insulation - roof & walls, 5" concrete slab. Just wished I had budgeted for all the extras - electrical, HVAC, overhead doors, additional concrete & grading... Extras were almost as much as the main building.

May you receive many enjoyable years of service from your building, while enjoying good health.

Thanks! Got cooling installed last week - what a difference! Never thought I'd get to the point where I could work on the Ranger in my own garage! :)

Yes, OSB painted (2 coats primer) white.

This arrived today - don't know how often I'll use the 12" extensions, but have them, just in case!
