Congratulations on the expansion! Thanks for showing all the pictures on your floors construction. Very interesting... I do have a question about the drain, did you run a line out from under the floor to a french drain or into a sewer?

I ran the channel drain out the side of the building and tied it in with my downspouts. I also tied in the small wash tub into that. Everything goes down hill and into a pit area in the scrub brush.

Some areas have restrictions on floor drains and how they're allowed to drain. I live in the country and they're not too strict out here. In reality I should not have the wash tub tied into this, but in order to do it properly I would've had to put in another septic system. I wasn't going to do that for the small amount of time I use the tub.

The channel drain comes out in the middle. My downspouts tie in at the front and back corners. I also tied in the wash tub with the small pipe.



I also tied in the floor drain from the original building into this.



Everything goes down hill into a low area in the woods.

Thanks for the clarification on your drainage system. Now as your sig says "away those troubles go down the drain!" I helped my brother in law with building his 30x40 a few months ago, so based on the size of yours, I know what a huge job you tackled.
