Re: Digging Holes For Shop Today!
Wow, what an unusual and cool design for the building. Is there a method behind it, or is the design purely aesthetic?

Re: Digging Holes For Shop Today!
Should they forget to remove the tractor let me know. Looks like its coming along nicely. Have you thought about a "Garage warming party"? I could bring a wrench or two.

Re: Digging Holes For Shop Today!
Only on suggestion. Put down a vapor barrier down before pouring your concrete. My contractor pulled mine up and now I pump out 8 gallons a day with a dehumifier. The cement guys will say that the concrete will not cure fast enough but the floor will sweat forever.

Did you add gravel over your site before the pour ? My fill was river run I think they called it than we added a couple inches of 5/8 crushed rock in hopes that what moisture does come up wont wick thru like it would with a dirt base.

Re: Digging Holes For Shop Today!
The fiber is only for reinforcement, like wire mesh. Make sure they add a vapor barrier and make dern sure they cut your expansion joints THE SAME DAY. They should be 1/4 of the thickness deep and spaced appropriately (based on thickness as well). I can't tell you how many times I've had to inspect failed concrete due to a lack of expansion joints.

Re: Digging Holes For Shop Today!
I had 6 inches of 5/8 minus and 6 inches of sand and the water comes up like a fountion. Put it down at all cost. Pit run doesn't stop a thing.

Re: Digging Holes For Shop Today!
Roofing is going on , few more days and the building part will be done.
(except for what I get to do, insulation,wiring,heat,lights ,loft,sheetrock etc.) less concrete.

Re: Digging Holes For Shop Today!
2nd snow this year , might be it for the year ? Seattle area usually doesn't get much . Almost done with exterior ! Notice the huge man door in back.
Handy for removing lawn mowers , wheelbarrows etc. w/o dragging past cars.

Re: Digging Holes For Shop Today!
Nice looking shop. Come on up when you have it finished, Ill need some experienced hands up here
We are going to put in a shop here next to our house. Only have room for an 18x28. (My wallet couldn't afford a larger one anyway). We've been waiting a couple of months for the city and county to ok our permits and they finally came through. Now I have to do a little site work and wait for the contractor to fit us in. Sounds like its going to be early spring-ish. |

I wonder how often that happens ? And would expansion joints help the cure process ? Quote:
Sunday came and went within 4-5 hours.

Re: Digging Holes For Shop Today!
I'm not a county inspector but I do have about 15 certifications from ACI, NICET, etc related to concrete. All concrete will crack. You can only control the cracking and that's by use of saw joints. Joints won't help the curing process. A deeper thickness of concrete will cure slower than thinner lifts, and this could lead to cracking. If it were mine, I'd reinforce it with 10 x 10 wire mesh or either use fiber in my concrete (whichever one was the cheapest). I'd keep the slump of the concrete to 5" or less, and I'd cut the saw joints just as soon as it was finished.
