The Toy Box
 

Well after 2 years of "discussions" with the Township, ground breaking has begun !!!! :metal:

Wanted a 40*60*14 but was "allowed" a 32*48*12'6, guess it will do.... ;)

Re: The Toy Box
 

Got the trusses set today....

Re: The Toy Box
 

Looking good ,I have been trying to find someone to build me a 30x60 building for 2 years and cant find anyone who wants to build it .I may have to start with a large pole barn and just finish it myself.

Re: The Toy Box
 

you live in a HOA?

Re: The Toy Box
 

No, Just the USA !!!...........

Re: The Toy Box
 

Decking on and shingles delivered.......

Re: The Toy Box
 

Very nice! Too bad you couldn't build what you want. No HOA, must be other restricting regulations.

Anyway, congratulations on getting started on your building.

Re: The Toy Box
 

Yep, liberty is a dead concept.

Keep us updated on your build.

Re: The Toy Box
 

Not an overly productive weekend but still moving forward.....Got the 160' of rat wall dug, picked up my floor insulation and siding was also picked up (1 week early) :)

Now if I could find out where the **** my dirt dude is???????

Re: The Toy Box
 

Looking good, at this rate you'll be inside working on trucks before im out driving mine.

Re: The Toy Box
 

Shingles are down, now waiting on earthwork and concrete..........

Re: The Toy Box
 

Little suprise when i got in tonight....

GOT DIRT !!!!!!!

Gonna be a busy weekend !!!

Re: The Toy Box
 

I've had the idea for a long time if the city/township restricted the height of the building, go as tall as the outside would allow and drive DOWN into a slightly sunken garage floor??

Other than water wanting to run down inside the garage i think it would get the results of a taller ceiling inside a shorter outside building!

A local firm built a house that potentially blocked a lake view. The city said the building couldn't be taller than "X". So the slick builders brought in fill and raised up the site elevation and then built the house to the said "X" height.

I discussed this finished house that was the talk of the town because it blocked the pretty view with my civil engineer friend. How could that be i asked him? His response was "That's the difference between HEIGHT and ELEVATION"

Re: The Toy Box
 

Fun times this weekend....Got the sand subbase down, now time for fine grade, vapor barrier, insulation and pex...........then maybe some concrete !!!!

Re: The Toy Box
 

PEX?! This is gonna be nice

Re: The Toy Box
 

Been plugging away at floor prep this week. I have got the vapor barrier down and the majority of the insulation. Been getting the floor drains and electric conduct installed also a few extra stub ins for future use........the pex tubing for the radiant heat system is scheduled to go down Monday........I will be so happy when I'm done digging holes.......ugh..

Re: The Toy Box
 

Looking good, curious as to what that insulation is.

Pex is going on top of insulation and then being poured over?

Re: The Toy Box
 

I'm pretty sure this will be a heated concrete floor.

Re: The Toy Box
 

Very nice new building! This will be so sweet when you're done. If you are putting in heat in the floor, try to put in studs or markers for a hoist and equipment if you have an idea where you'll be putting them. You probably are aware of that though. :lol:

Re: The Toy Box
 

The insulation is 2" Foamular 250, it goes under the floor and the heat tubes on top of it. The pits for the lift along with all in floor items is VERY well documented for future reference...... ;)

Re: The Toy Box
 

All underground is in and PEX is being installed this AM !!!! :metal:

Re: The Toy Box
 

Very nice!

Re: The Toy Box
 

Got all the PEX tube down yesterday, and ready for concrete!!

Now after an entire summer of NO rain it is now here....ugh!!!
Hope to get things dried up and concrete placed asap !!! Not digging any more mud !!! :(

Re: The Toy Box
 

Sexy. Pex is fun.

Re: The Toy Box
 

Looking good!
