Yammer Dan Posted February 13, 2012 Author #451 Posted February 13, 2012 Getting the concrete done is first. Getting company out of Charleston to do it I think. Not sure what type of building I'm going with after I get something to sit it on. May go block. Maybe stick maybe metal.
Yammer Dan Posted February 13, 2012 Author #453 Posted February 13, 2012 I think it is better. I tried all those fly by night contractors last summer and look what I got. Go with big company this year. May cost more but I'll get it done. I've got stuff stacked up to do the inside just gotta get it built.
Yammer Dan Posted February 22, 2012 Author #454 Posted February 22, 2012 Getting warmer out there. Could have poured concrete anytime this winter I think.
Flyinfool Posted February 22, 2012 #455 Posted February 22, 2012 Yes you COULD have. Gettin lazy?????? Gettin old??????? Just go do it. Like I should talk.......
Yammer Dan Posted February 22, 2012 Author #456 Posted February 22, 2012 I got a few more ideas over the winter. One of them makes it bigger again.
Flyinfool Posted February 22, 2012 #457 Posted February 22, 2012 Bigger is better when it comes to garages.
KIC Posted February 22, 2012 #458 Posted February 22, 2012 Smaller in reality is still bigger than in fantasy.. Just a thought.... Kinda like a 2nd Gen thinking they are faster than a 1st Gen...
Yammer Dan Posted February 23, 2012 Author #459 Posted February 23, 2012 I started too small. I won't go thru what I did last year. I can frame this thing up and have M&E is necessary but pouring concrete is no fun. That will be a last resort. I can't believe how sorry the contractors around here are these days. But I got a plan!!
Yammer Dan Posted February 26, 2012 Author #460 Posted February 26, 2012 Played around with tapeline out there for a while yesterday. Might be able to salvage most of those footers.
FROG MAN Posted February 26, 2012 #461 Posted February 26, 2012 Want something done got to do it yourself. We got contractors around here?:think:
Flyinfool Posted February 26, 2012 #462 Posted February 26, 2012 Get busy, digging trenches, pouring footings, stacking block and pushing cement is a better workout than what you can get in a gym. Then you can find all of the mussels that you were ignoring in the gym.
Yammer Dan Posted February 26, 2012 Author #463 Posted February 26, 2012 Want something done got to do it yourself. We got contractors around here?:think: None that want to work!!
FROG MAN Posted February 26, 2012 #464 Posted February 26, 2012 I know some ole boys who will work all day long for some of them Hydro tax exempt funds. I know an old girl who will...................... for some. I guess the US Currency is changing around here.:rotf:
Marcarl Posted February 27, 2012 #466 Posted February 27, 2012 Don't know if I mentioned this before,,, but if I were to redo my shop, I would run the hydro on the inside surface of the wall, so as I could make changes a whole lot easier in the future.
Dano Posted February 27, 2012 #467 Posted February 27, 2012 Heck, after kickin' off the Hydro's (meds) this weekend, I'll get out in my yard and start some work today!! Sunny and 50 by this afternoon! At least get a rake out and get started Dan!
Yammer Dan Posted February 27, 2012 Author #468 Posted February 27, 2012 I'm working on a Scyamore tree that was about 125 ft tall now lying in pieces all over my yard. Thats a lot of Wood!!
Dano Posted February 27, 2012 #469 Posted February 27, 2012 Good thing you missed the house when you dropped it!
Sylvester Posted February 27, 2012 #470 Posted February 27, 2012 Good thing it missed the garage site, or it would be next winter and Dan would be looking for a concrete contractor.
FROG MAN Posted February 27, 2012 #471 Posted February 27, 2012 I could use some of that wood down at the camp. I got a 4x7 trailer and a tow hitch on the First Gen.
Yammer Dan Posted February 27, 2012 Author #472 Posted February 27, 2012 We could load it up. Chain saw crapped out on me. Having fun getting it cut up.
Venturous Randy Posted February 27, 2012 #473 Posted February 27, 2012 Hey Dan, is there any prize for being the 500th poster on this thread? RandyA
Yammer Dan Posted February 29, 2012 Author #474 Posted February 29, 2012 A cord of Sycamore firewood. You come and cut up!!
Yammer Dan Posted March 2, 2012 Author #475 Posted March 2, 2012 Guess nobody fell for that one. Need to find a trash can for that saw!!
