Phase III

[fnieto]

Formed up the bar grating drainage system that will re-direct the rain fall coming off the house scupper. Smallest pour yet so far, only 5 yards.

 

[fnieto]

5.5 yards of trench drain.

 

[Hairy66]

The concrete turned out good! I warning up my screw gun to start the sheeting.

 

[fnieto]

Bring it Hairy66

 

[fnieto]

Stripped the forms and cleaned the gutter. Turned out pretty good. Next thing prior to phase IV of pour is to back fill gutter with dirt and slope out to south end. Pouring the last 17 yards of drive way and gutter in first part of November.

 

[fnieto]

Formed up the ends, bent and placed re bar and poured bottom of trench drain. Pitches 3" in 45'.

I didn't think it rained in Az.

I didn't think it rained in Az.

Haha, not much but when the monsoons come it dumps real hard.
right now our temps are the best of the year.
I'm guessing its getting nippily in PA?

 

[Rookie2]

maybe we should start a garage time share !

 

[fnieto]

What an awesome idea! The best of both worlds.

 

[Hairy66]

Had a good time today working on the trim and the best thing it turned out great!!!! Its getting close brother.

 

[upndown]

Can't wait to see the rest of the build..

 

[fnieto]

Hairy66,
Thanks again for your help. Your sheet metal skills are the sheet

 

[fnieto]

Placed the bar grating over the trench drain. I will band the open ends of the bar grating later. I needed a robust drain system to channel those monsoon deluges and still handle a 10,000 lb. forklift load.

 

[fnieto]

Skinned 2240 sq ft. of sides in two days (two guys). Too windy today for further skin work with wind gusts of 30-35 mph. Parked the 40 to show the scale of the new shop.

 

[fnieto]

More skin on East end. Way too windy today to finish West end.

 

[Hairy66]

Bodega !!!!!!

 

[fnieto]

Bodega !!!!!!

Hahaha, you remember your spanish lesson Hairy66. Dude you need to come home so we can finish the Bodega.

 

[fnieto]

Update! All skins are now on and will be starting the detail work on the inside. I see a lot of copper in our near future. Garage doors are on order and so the weather (winter rain) will not hinder our progress any further. Big shout out to Hariy66 and the other fellas who helped with the roof section.

How does it feel to have power in the BODEGA???? You need to show off those beautiful garage doors. Only southwesterner's love the rust!!!!!

It feels GREAT! Thanks for all you have done to help me get there.
I plan on posting some photos after the final ridge trim is up:thumb up:
I'm struggling with walking away for the next 15 days but looking forward to seeing my son.
Jared, you are a true friend

 

[fnieto]

For all you East coasters who hate rust, We actually encourage it in the South West (on some applications) The doors are Janus product and operators are lift master jack shaft style 8500 models.

Nice build, I like an all metal garage. Keep the pics coming,,

 

[fnieto]

Thanks 1/2 Cup. More soon to come

 

[fnieto]

Got the T-5 lights installed and they are bright! They are six 48" tubes per fixture and 18 of them in a 3200 SF space. Mounted 14'-16' above the floor with excellent coverage. Each bay on its own 20 amp circuit with four three way switches.

 

[fnieto]

10" R-30 all the way around, followed up with Skrim sheet wired 16"O.C.
Made a huge difference in sound and temp.
Next up, 3/4" CB plywood around perimeter (first 8' only). Tape,texture then paint.
I'm thinking of medium grey for the first 4' followed by a 8" black horizontal stripe (all the way around) broken by a 2" white stripe and lastly a 4" blue stripe (miller blue).
I would love to get some input from you folks on paint.

And for you audiophiles, check this shop system out. Vintage klipsch Cornwalls (restored) and SAE 02 sires rack system with two A-502 amps mono-bridged producing 600W/ch.

 

[1/2 Cup]

Thanks for the update, looking great.
I am guessing that hearing protection would nearly be needed with that amount of punch.

 

[theoldwizard1]

Got any pics of installing the insulation and skrim ?

 

[j p smith]

Looking like project is coming along nicely and will sound good also. Interested in the process on the speakers. I have a pair of Scott speakers and have been wondering about what to do to them as far as keeping them in good working order.

Sorry, no pictures of the actual install but its straight forward.
1 hammer on clips to red iron (16" O.C.)
2 pull and loop wire
3 install 10" batts
4 precut skrim sheets and roll up (tight)
5 start at one end and roll skrim sheet out keeping it under the wire and adjusting to keep centered.
6 go back and tuck ends/sides of skrim.

The skrim is actually pretty durable and allows for pulling adjusting etc.

Hi JP,
not sure on Scott speakers but I found plenty of information on Klipsch to down load. I was able to finish the cabinets (better than new) and check the horns and woofers. Replaced the capacitors on the cross overs and recovered the grills. I even found one of the missing badges on ebay.
I have made mounts for them 8' up on opposite ends of the east end of the shop (36' apart). I'm sure you can find info on your speakers tho. check AudioKarma.com

 

[fnieto]

Update, got the 3/4" plywood screwed in (200') and assembled the new swamp cooler (11,700+ cfm) aka Godzilla! Tape and mild texture then prime and paint. Moving right along.
Thanks Hairy66 once again. BTW your Makita kicked my Ridgid's a$$. hahaha

 

[fnieto]

3/4" BC ply wood taped textured,primed,painted and now the stripe work, all 240' of it.
frog tape rules for crisp lines. The blue comes close to the Miller welding equipment. I plan on painting the oval spiral ductwork blue as well.
