Re: War Pig's new addition/shop. You must have some sort of previous experience building houses? Or are you just flyin by the seat of your pants haha. |
Re: War Pig's new addition/shop. No actual construction experience but I've done a little bit of everything over the last 25 years. I read and study things a lot, plus I've just been one of those people that can do whatever I put my mind to. I guess I'm just an all around handy guy. I know my limitations though and that's why I hired out the concrete, framing, insulation, and drywall. |

Re: War Pig's new addition/shop. The concrete guys set up forms, poured and stripped the forms in 3 1/2 days. Over 40 cubic yards in that foundation. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...pss4iwugws.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psg47jjsft.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psn7lo2toe.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...pssp2529dj.jpg |

Re: War Pig's new addition/shop. I've seen and helped with lots of additions...but I have never seen or heard of an addition like this (going underground). It looks good "thumbsup" |
Re: War Pig's new addition/shop. Fill it up with water and go swimming |

Re: War Pig's new addition/shop. Starting the framing. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psajmvjznt.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psvttkgyyp.jpg The weight of the house is back on the foundation. Finished the shear wall. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psw0t7tctg.jpg Starting to frame the basement. My future RC fab room is there in the back of the basement. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psygmnm7rt.jpg |
Re: War Pig's new addition/shop. More framing..... http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...pss4kwmcp8.jpg Big glulam is in....time for I-joists. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...pspbpin4bc.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...pstxtpzrw1.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psmbbj5vyh.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psqgoockue.jpg |
Re: War Pig's new addition/shop. Time to deck. 1 1/8" T&G plywood, I want the floor to be SOLID! http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psz31oxarp.jpg Don't forget the rain drains. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psqkbkw8xd.jpg Had to figure out where the foundation drains were going to drain to since they at 9 feet down. Decided to make this sump well and bury it before I back filled. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...pswb2ewfpy.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psmomx8osn.jpg Looks like the framing lumber is here. Framing tomorrow! http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psnrrnu8g5.jpg |
Re: War Pig's new addition/shop. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psn7lo2toe.jpg I'm not critiquing or anything like that, I'm just not understanding the reason for the partial pour and leaving these voids, then a 2nd pour to bring everything up to grade? The overall project looks great! "thumbsup" Great forward thinking to give yourself a personal area while providing for the family. I hope it all goes well for you. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psnrrnu8g5.jpg Can you send me some cut off scraps? I've been away from the area for so long, I've forgotten what the red cedar smells like! |

Re: War Pig's new addition/shop. And I was proud that I broke out the tape measure and level to hang a picture for my wife. Nice work. |
Re: War Pig's new addition/shop. 5' ?? It makes sense now. I'll send you a PM for a box of cedar shavings."thumbsup" Living on the east cast for so long, basements are just assumed to be a part of the building process. It's much less complicated to have a hole 10' below grade on this side of the continent. :mrgreen: |
Re: War Pig's new addition/shop. :shock: What are you putting on that floor? A machine shop? Massively thick plywood and such a tight spacing on the joists has gotta support a massive amount of weight. I think my parents house has 3/4" osb on floor joists spaced 24" apart....it's been a lot of years though since they built it, I may be mistaken. |

I was surprised to see a glu-lam beam, when I saw the pocket in the wall I assumed a nice piece of steel was going to be set into the hole. |
Re: War Pig's new addition/shop. Quote:
I could never use OSB. The thing with OSB is that "if" it ever gets wet, it swell up. When it dries, it stays swollen. With plywood, if it gets wet, it may swell some, but when it dries back out it will go back to its original form, or close to it. I love the job you are doing. I think it look awesome so far! Great job! SS |
