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. Let's see, I waterproofed the foundation, ran the foundation drains, framed the basement and sheeted the floor of the main level, framed the stairs, roofed it, installed and flashed the windows, sided it, caulked everything, painted it, wired the entire thing and installed the sub panel, plumbed it, insulated the basement, and installed the sheet metal ductwork for the addition. Oh, and I dug some holes too so yeah Left for me to do: Install laundry cabinets Install granite tile counter tops Install heated ceramic tile floors Install Madrone hardwoods and finish Install all interior doors Finish wiring all fixtures Finish plumbing All trim work and built in book shelves Landscaping |

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 |

Time to deck. 1 1/8" T&G plywood, I want the floor to be SOLID! Don't forget the rain drains. 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. Looks like the framing lumber is here. Framing tomorrow! |

| Re: War Pig's new addition/shop. 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! Great forward thinking to give yourself a personal area while providing for the family. I hope it all goes well for you. 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! |

And I was proud that I broke out the tape measure and level to hang a picture for my wife. Nice work.

5' ?? It makes sense now. I'll send you a PM for a box of cedar shavings. 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. Last edited by BigSki; 02-24-2015 at 11:59 PM. |

| Re: War Pig's new addition/shop. 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. Last edited by BigSki; 02-25-2015 at 12:26 AM. | |

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 | |
