JR, I spent many public dollars digging up old fuel tanks and chasing the dirty soils. Spent more on dry ice in a month than the fuel for the equipment digging up the tanks. Four county sheds and two old pit sites. At our shops we installed 1,000 gal tanks for the shop drains and pumped them as needed, but we did have our own vactor trucks so that helped.

What's the dry ice for Bob?

Yeah, I may have thrown out the wrong vibe there. I'm not trying to be public enemy #1 of Mother Earth here... Just don't want my slop sink going into the septic. Moot point anyway since where I want to put it won't have enough fall to get to the tank anyway

Had to put large amounts of dry ice inside tanks before the final removal from the ground. The dry ice would release gases that would force any remaining gasoline fumes out of the tanks so if there were any sparks nothing bad would happen. Had a consultant engineer with his box truck lab on site at all the digs testing soil and letting us know when we got into clean material. That is what he and the union reps wanted when we were right next to the tanks and before setting the chains for removal.

Well it looks like you almost beat the weather to get it dried in. Looks good, my son is about to start on his. A pole building, but lots of dry area for things that do not like rain.

Hey, look on the bright side. At least she will owe you & there are multiple ways to collect from the wife unit...... ;)

She'll probably establish eminent domain and he'll wind up paying taxes.

Bugs? She'd just go nutty wanting to clean the place. Now... A snake? She'd put the whole dang thing to the torch.

So you see, this is a matter of strategy that requires much diligence and conference, men. :D

60's samurai flicks, overdubbed kung fu, WWII classics, (bridge over the river kwai), Steven Segal, Van Damm, etc. Like a Pandora play list but for guy movies.

Dawg25385 · « **Reply #387 on:** September 01, 2016, 01:34:12 PM »

Segal is one of my favorites! My mom would rent me his movies on VHS as a kid. 3 for $5, I would get a Segal movie, an old WWF ppv, and Return of the Jedi, every time LOL

Am I the only one to noticed they installed the windows before the house wrap? That seems backwards and might make it difficult to waterproof. Make sure you watch how they waterproof around the windows and post pictures if you have any doubts.

JR · « **Reply #392 on:** September 02, 2016, 01:55:48 PM »

I didn't see the wrap yet, maybe they pulled them first. But with good tape it really shouldn't be a problem as long as they wrap the openings first.

What concerns me is the roof that drains into the valley.

Hmm... Yeah. The wrap should have covered the holes then been cut and folded in. Maybe it doesn't matter if the plan on taping around all the windows good.

Dawg25385 · « **Reply #394 on:** September 06, 2016, 11:12:39 PM »

They tyvek up to the windows, then use the heavy window tape around the windows, onto the wrap. I'll take pics when they start siding, but that's how the did the house too.

Edit: here's a pic from the house. They tape the wrap directly onto the window vinyl

Are you referring to the middle between the garage doors up high? If so, there will be a gutter there I'm pretty sure

Dawg25385 · « **Reply #399 on:** September 08, 2016, 12:46:25 PM »

Yeah there's drain pipe running the periphery around the foundation. The downspouts will tie into that, and all that water will go to the drywell
