New project

[HT413]

Those floors are gonna be beautiful. A mason I used had a ride on version. That thing was fun.

That's a nice looking home , the barn is a nice adder for space I am sure you will up with Mopars .

The new barn has finally started.

The three garage entrances are on the left side of the picture.

This is what I was thinking when I retire in 50 years.

Foundation forms next.

 

[Richard Cranium]

We have a foundation! Backfilling, grading and compactable fill for inside is next.

Make sure they put the water too it heavy while compacting. 20 years later I'm fighting broken / sunken floors in both the hangar and the shop.

 

[Richard Cranium]

After 300+ yards of fill & 40+ yards of concrete (today), the floor was poured this morning. Once it's set up, they'll burnish it this afternoon.

Damn... it'll be too hard to write my name in it! Couldn't have waited 2 weeks to pour eh... LOL Justin's car it'll have to be.... on Saturday!

I have a fire hydrant right across the street and I was hoping that they'd burn it down. Unfortunately, due to liability, they can't do controlled house burns any longer. Too bad because scooping ashes out of the foundation hole would have been a lot cheaper than the 7 40-yard dumpsters they loaded it all into.

I guess I'm late to this thread. Nice to let them use it, RC - thanks for that. As a volunteer firefighter for the past 28 years, I know it's been getting harder and harder to find real buildings to train with. There's nothing like the real thing for training. We can still burn them down, here, but they have to have an asbestos inspection and mitigation if any is found. Plus they have to have the shingles removed if they're asphalt. This has essentially put an end to live burns. It's a shame, because as a young firefighter, going into a controlled, live burn is the best training for the real thing.

Framing started today.

 

[Kern Dog]

I could have framed that in 3 days by myself because I am a baller, a shot caller, I earn my dollar and make chicks holler.

50' x46' is a great size,deep enough to get two cars deep, wide enough to get 3 cars wide and still have 12' foot or so for a "dirty side" separated by a partition wall that's how i did mine . Having a storage side or "dirty side" works well ,you can put shelves up, put your compressor on that side ect. I should have made my barn 2' smaller ,said no one.

Does RC have a dirty side?
