It's especially problematic when unscrupulous builders (Richmond America Homes) don't test or build properly for the condition.

My garage floor heaved in the center over 9" in 4 years. you can see about 5" difference at the back of the garage in this pic.

Most recent picture I have that I took just after I brought the third Hawk home. Still have stuff I need to move around. The back right corner is tight right now and the table to the right of the bike on the lift will be going too. Want to build a workbench for the right side of the garage that I'll mount a vise to and the drill press.

BTW: Old Minnie Mouse sleeping bags work fine as a cover. :p

Hey Jinks, yeah hot soil is a term they use around here to indicate that you have a high concentration bentonite in the soil. It's basically clay that never stops expanding when it gets wet, causing all sorts of problems with foundations and flat work along the front range. It's especially problematic when unscrupulous builders (Richmond America Homes) don't test or build properly for the condition.

My garage floor heaved in the center over 9" in 4 years. you can see about 5" difference at the back of the garage in this pic.

Interesting! I'd never heard of a problem like that. OTOH we do have our share of unscrupulous builders here in Florida. Worked with a guy that bought from one of 'em. Lots of wet/swamp land down here, & his builder didn't test or build properly either. His entire slab went the other direction. Dropped several inches. He had to call in the guys with concrete pumps. Drill a big hole here & pump concrete under the house till you see part of the room rise (not always the part you want) then do it again till you get the slab back where you want it.

I can also show you several houses that lean.........

My nephew and his wife are here for the long weekend. They brought her R6 so we could put new tires on it.

Not really a completed garage by any means, but my garage is now officially a motorcycle garage... since I just bought my first motorcycle! I don't think I've ever really even rode a bicycle, but I'm starting slowly.

Plus, should be good for mileage with it's 125cc powerplant :D

Nice lift! Do you have any more info or build pics on that? I just picked up a 2013 300xc this week to replace the 2012 Gas Gas 300. Again, nice shop.

It's really messy right now but it's hard to find time to clean when you are always out riding!

Hi all

Welcome to my first post and my garage :)

I started off with a 20' x 40' shed and found I didn't have enough room so put in another before finally putting an extension on the original. This is where these pics start.









This was all done so I could get going properly on a restoration project. If you would like to see this project visit here http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=76043

Hope you enjoyed this.

Cheers
Steve
