Been a long time in the making... Since selling our house back in August of last year, to deciding to build, to finding our builder, and ultimately the land... then doing building plans, site planning, engineering, budgeting, negotiating, permitting, financing, etc etc etc. Been trying to save money like crazy for quite awhile now (hence a stale LBZ build thread, and no new things that go bang).
Well, here she be... our own little piece of paradise. Just shy of an acre, 125'x300' lot with room (and plans!) for my shop, and a garden, and fruit trees and whatever else we want back there!

They've already logged, stumping is later this week, and foundation footings are scheduled to be dug next week.

What is the proposed house going to look like?

And here's my shop. 40' deep, 44' wide. Aesthetically will match the house on the exterior.

I like how you cut up the roof profile with all the dormers
I did the same thing on my house
Post by: Dawg25385 on June 10, 2015, 10:52:35 AM
Oooh your garage is on the side, my wife really wanted a side garage but our property just wasn't wide enough. Nice house!
Post by: Flyin6 on June 10, 2015, 11:10:08 AM
Yeah, i like it too. All the front gable pitches match on the shop at the house at 8/12. The shop was actually 9/12 and i noticed it while the plans were in engineering, so i had to have it updated... that's why they're dotted lines in that photo.I would prefer your detached garage building setup. I actually have two garages, the one you see is my wife's 24X24
Oooh your garage is on the side, my wife really wanted a side garage but our property just wasn't wide enough. Nice house!
Mine is truly on the side and is a deep 3 car plus work area 36 X 28 or 30 I think.
But like today, for example, if I spray that bumper with the Raptor, the fumes are really wicked, and they will migrate into the house. You'll have a better setup
Post by: Dawg25385 on June 10, 2015, 11:42:05 AM
Here's an idea of how things will be oriented.
(http://i.imgur.com/Olm8yO3.jpg)
So the garage will essentailly have 4 bays. This will be a non-work-area aka wife-friendly-zone. So vehicles, bikes, storage, etc... but minimal tools and work stuff.
The shop will have the 40' bay with the 14' door for trailer/5th wheel, and then the other half is for the workshop, along the back corner, and then storage for the boat, riding mower, etc. Small loft above the shop too.

We do basements here so, essentially, you end up with a 3-story
Post by: Dawg25385 on June 10, 2015, 11:56:57 AM
But no, we're not doing a basement. The property slopes from right to left. If it was front to back we would have considered it. I would have loved a basement for a vault, saferoom, etc (like Blaine is doing). But our preference was for a patio versus a deck, so that eliminated the daylight basement idea.
I've got a 'man cave' upstairs in the house that will be the media room and where my safe and gun table will be.
Post by: Bob Smith on June 10, 2015, 12:17:10 PM
Do you folks up there do basements? If that thing is on a basement it's huge!

A problem with basements around here is the surface water likes to fill up holes it finds. All the drainage and asphalt coating around the outside of the basement does is slow down the water for a while. Once a crack forms in the floor or outside wall, water will be there after a rain event.

Awfully familiar surroundings there sir. That's what I remember my uncle's property looking like up in Kayak Point when they broke ground. is that a ridge line I see in the background leading to a water view?
Although i'm not standing on our lot in this pic, this is next to us... our view won't be as good, as we're just after the crest of the hill. But we will see the mountain from our back yard, and the foothills from the house.

First, concrete trucks tear the crap out of everything, so we wanted to do all the concrete at once. Same for excavation obviously...
Second, I wanted to get it permitted and started, so there's no risk of the county building department changing the regs and crushing our dreams lol. Now that it's permitted and once it's started, I will have a long time to finish it in its grandfathered state.
So it will be a work in progress... But the foundation is laid, literally and figuratively! :)

Good move getting the process rolling. I have pretty nasty first hand experience with Snohomish county's version of "pliable regs", especially in an R5 Zone. Although I can say I'm a proud owner of several hundred square yards of my neighbor's undeveloped property as my fence line has gone uncontested for over 7 years now, and that's thanks to the planning and development department.

Those are some really straight trees in the background. Are you going to be able to save any of them for later? I am thinking fire pit seating, kid treehouse or swingset, etc.
Post by: Dawg25385 on July 27, 2015, 03:06:03 PM
Our tallest stub walls (on the uphill side for both the shop and the house) are 3'.
Most of the tall trees you see will be logged, which i'm really happy about as they're extremely tall and narrow, and many are diseased. Lots of dead and rot in there. Everything remotely close to a structure will be down, they just couldn't log it when they did ours, since our building permit didn't allow them to cut more than they did. The only trees that will remain will be on the back 50' of our property. Property is 300' deep, back of shop is about 150', so there's 100' between the shop and the trees. And yes, we'll get that all cleaned up back there and "park it out" for kiddos and such. Definitely a fire pit back there too!

I get to go in after the electrical is inspected and do some low voltage wiring myself so i'm looking forward to that... going to wire in-wall speakers for the man cave/theater room, and also some in-ceiling speakers in the main living area downstairs, and in the ceiling of the patio roof. Figure might as well since it'll never get easier to do than before the drywall goes up.

Also, do 'home runs' of your COAX back to a smart panel in a closet/garage/utility room and bring 3 or 4 lines in from the outside DMARC point so you don't have Comcast/Dish wanting to punch holes through your siding! COAX is cheap, run extras!
Run a minimum of 2 inch "smurf tube" anywhere you might want to fish wires (HDMI, COAX, etc) at a later date.
Wish I were still close, I'd help ya with all of that. Seriously considering a change of career so I can do hands-on stuff like this.

Not sure on the circuitry for each room. I doubt it.
We have 320 amp coming in from the street, and then a sub-panel will come off of that for the shop.
We are going to have gen backup wired in at the panel, on a manual throw lever switch.

Take as much advantage of the clean slate that you can.

Cat6 to every room yes, and stubbed for the shop. It will all come to a closet, inside a network panel, where all of the coax cable and cat6 will be split from. Will also be pre-wired for satellite, and the modem/router will be there also, with pre-wired flexibility to run DSL or Cable.

My lesson recently. I have a 6TB (had, correction) server in mirrored raid. It bit the dust and I just had a friend recover the data. About 95% anyway. I'm going to the cloud for deep storage (Amazon Glacier) and keep redundant external HDD for rapid access. Looking at Cloudberry for the software to manage it but I have my wife on a mac, so need a different solution for her. I'll keep rotating the external HDDs between the two homes so it's less likely that I'll suffer loss or damage.

Their reliability matrix is managed to a loss of 1 single file out of a million every 10,000 years. Good enough for me. I was all paranoid about security and he said any legitimate hacker can get to your server, not to mention theft, fire, etc. In the cloud, you hide in plain sight. Why would anyone find your data valuable when they can hack Ashely Madison, Anthem or others? Not to mention their security is good enough for some large corporations to rely on. Their AWS cloud is not cheap, but the Glacier is a much deeper storage with a long time to retrieve (hours) so the cost is waaaay cheaper. I plan on using it as the back up to the back up.
Post by: JR on August 26, 2015, 12:28:25 AM
You going to add some ethernet runs to each room? Wireless is nice, but hardwired is mucho better imo.
House is sure looking good, Nice celebration.
Just run wire everywhere, cat 5/6. I have no coax to anything anymore. Plus wiring is more secure.

Couple of questions. What Broadband are you going to have available at your site? Amazon Web Service and other Cloud options are great for backup. the challenge I have seen is the sync software that keeps everything current. Plus if you are running media server off of your 4TB NAS you will want all of that local. Uptime will have more to do with the telecom (broadband) link than AWS or the Cloud uptime.
If you put POE switches in you don't really need Coax for camera's and you wouldn't need AC power at camera sites. You might like AC plugs under the eaves of the house for Christmas lights though! :D Cable or Direct TV even have WiFi receivers.
Also have you thought of disguising your equipment closet? Maybe even making a false door behind an actual closet? Maybe set up a decoy server / old school cheap coax / tape based security server? You can buy an old one for almost nothing, run 10 Coax cables into a wall plate and just have it powered up.
The reason I mention it is we were burglarized while living in Washington and the first thing they went for was electronics (PC/Laptops/TV) and Jewelry. I had backups but they weren't automated so I wasn't as current as I would have liked. I realize you have backup planned for inside your safe but if you had a decoy and then hidden room they would steal the junk and think they pulled the security tapes. They would also create less damage and expense if they thought they were already stealing your electronic stuff.
I have WiFi security camera's which are ok but not great. I also have DSL so I'm bandwidth challenged so most of my stuff needs to be local.
I would love to be able to wire the house from scratch!

Hey thanks for chiming in!
I'm going to have Comcast cable and Century Link DSL available. No FIOS or anything like that. I have to have a pretty stout broadband connection for work, so I'll get at least 20 down, but the upload speeds are what kill ya for Cloud backups. Yes, my media server will be local only... not going to host over the net. Going to be running a Plex server on top of my NAS, with Plex clients on the various devices (Roku's, iPad's, etc). [Side note: I will be able to access my Plex server from outside my home network, i.e. at a hotel or something, but have to be careful, as the ISP could view that as being a webhost, which I wouldn't be paying for] The local hardwired network will be gigabit, so lightning fast. I have a pretty nice dual band wireless system too, but very little will be on wireless. Mainly phones and ipads, and the printer, and the laptops when not docked.
If you put POE switches in you don't really need Coax for camera's and you wouldn't need AC power at camera sites. You might like AC plugs under the eaves of the house for Christmas lights though! :D Cable or Direct TV even have WiFi receivers.
Great suggestion. We will have power in the eves for Christmas lights, but for the security cameras I would use PoE and run ethernet cable.
Also have you thought of disguising your equipment closet? Maybe even making a false door behind an actual closet? Maybe set up a decoy server / old school cheap coax / tape based security server? You can buy an old one for almost nothing, run 10 Coax cables into a wall plate and just have it powered up.
That's a good idea, although nothing really of significant value will be in the network closet. Just a modem and router. The NAS will be next to the save in a cabinet, so I may be able to hide it a little there. One HD will be inside the safe, so good luck with that Mr. Thief.
Great ideas though, thank you!

Hey thanks for chiming in!
I'm going to have Comcast cable and Century Link DSL available. No FIOS or anything like that. I have to have a pretty stout broadband connection for work, so I'll get at least 20 down, but the upload speeds are what kill ya for Cloud backups. Yes, my media server will be local only... not going to host over the net. Going to be running a Plex server on top of my NAS, with Plex clients on the various devices (Roku's, iPad's, etc).

What NAS platform/model are you running your PLEX server on? Thinking I'd like to set something like this up.
You can reply here for everyone's knowledge or PM me... Or we can start a thread in the Tech/Electronics category (though i'm not sure this fits the 'survival' theme of this website) ;)

Can't decide if I want to buy a small form factor PC and use external drives, build a tower with multiple internal drives, or buy a Western Digital My Cloud EX2 dedicated NAS unit and be done with it

Post by: rpar86 on August 27, 2015, 08:10:26 PM
I'm looking at Synology's NAS products right now, seem to be nice units. Kinda spendy for not including any drives though. The RAID capabilities (Software-based, I'm sure) are important to me so if I have a drive die I don't lose all my data, as is the ability to back it up to another unit or out to the cloud.
I have a tower PC with two 1TB drives in a RAID1 and an SSD for the OS, but it has a quad core proc and 8GB RAM, would be a pretty big power hog just for a media server. (Used it as a virtualization server, but could never really do much with only 8GB ram) :(
Post by: Dawg25385 on August 27, 2015, 08:32:33 PM
The My Cloud is Linux based too, but the web interface is suuuuper slick. All GUI. You can permission folders, create share easily, even set up automated sweep and scrape of FTP I think I read.
Yeah sounds like your tower may be a bit of a pig for a file server, but you what you could do is turn it into a dual purpose HTPC/NAS since you got the processing power. But if you're going the plea route, just easier to run a Roku on the network from a NAS.
My idea is my NAS will be adjacent to my safe, with the external SSD inside the safe for replication of files and photos from the media server, connected via USB. Movies and music don't necessarily need to be replicated since they're replaceable

Not sure if you noticed from the pictures, but when hardi first came out installers would caulk the butt joints... and that after a couple years the caulk just turned to rubbish. Now they're flashing the joints instead of caulking. You can see three of them in the 2nd pic below, right above the power meter.
Yes, wanted lots of juice to the shop... compressor, welder, and also a 50a plug for the RV so we can use it as overflow for guests and such. Ultimately will run a small electric water heater, and potentially a "shop only" washer and dryer for filthy outside stuff wifey doesn't want inside.

We'll have the mantle and then the TV above it. Built-ins had to get cut from the budget but our cabinet builders are right up the road so we'll have em make them for us in a year or two.
We'll have the 50" Panny above the fireplace.... Wifey wants minimal A/V downstairs, so just the TV and a Klipsch sound bar and wireless sub.
Upstairs in the man cave is a different story. In the man cave, I write the rules LOL.

Wood stove and a beer fridge in the shop, and a million things to tinker on... That's been a dream of mine for a long time, and it's such a blessing that it's becoming a reality

They did go above and beyond on some things tho that I'm super pumped about.... They Y'd off a stub from the main septic line to tie into later which is awesome, ran the water main all the way back to the shop which I wasn't expecting, stuff like that... I'll take that over being picky about recepticals. Besides, I need them to give me a deal on shop construction next spring ;)

I've got the same mickey mouse crud on my exterior. I think it's bare min code here in WA on new construction. Clear plastic covers on outdoor outlets.
Looking really tight there. Glad to see you didn't get some aesthetic adjustments from the wind storm.

Like the wood and stone mix. How much is carpeted?
With all that did you think of doing solar later or some stand alone system? I am adding a second inverter now that works when the grid is down.

That entry is amazing. I was curious about how they made the concrete steps, and the porch itself. I can't imagine that being solid concrete.
Thank you!
It's dang near solid concrete... They back filled a little, but it's a chunk

When I told my builder I was putting a large safe on the second floor, he asked me where and told me that he needed to beef up that area with some extra bracing. While it may weigh what a bathtub weighs, its on a 1/3 of the surface area.
Post by: Dawg25385 on November 19, 2015, 05:59:35 PM
Upstairs is all carpet, and family room down. Everything else wood down.
No solar, the front of the house faces to the south, so there's no good place to put panels that wouldn't be wham right in your face. I am prewired for generator backup though.
Yes I'm a lucky dude, my wife is much better looking than I am haha... But I'll have you know she's 50% polish, 50% sweedish, and 100% crazy LOL. She'd tell you the same thing!
Everything except landscaping is DONE. Just got done with the walk through with our builder, and here's how she sits as of now

My safe will rest dead nuts center on the biggest beam in the house, so I'm good to go. Happened by chance, but I'll take it!

I brought my safe home but it sits in the garage. Had to stand it up getting it out of the truck, what a job.
To bad they didn't set it up there during this phase of building.

Place looks great. The only real decision I made in building our house was the safe. I got the Cabela's branded Liberty Fat Boy 64. They had it in the store and the Liberty dealer had to order it. The wife was not real happy when I started taking the door facing off to get it where I wanted it, but it HAD to go. Even with 30" doors that handle center section would hit.
I hear ya. There was no way the Fatboy was making it up the stairs... The guys looked at it for 15 mins thinking of every possible option, but it was just physically impossible to round the corner halfway up on the platform. They told me the Franklin 36 was the biggest that would fit, so that's what I'm getting :)

Look at all that dust on it, it's destroyed! How can you expect to safely store your stuff in there after that!
That's actually condensation! It was really cold outside, when it came inside and the cold steel met the warm air it started sweating ;)
Glad they got it upstairs with wrecking anything. That cardboard wouldn't do much to stop a 600 lb safe tumbling down the stairs.
800 actually, and you're right. Cardboard was just to protect from dings as they jockeyed it around the landing to make the corner.
Nice, time to fill it up!!
Very nice. Lights, dehumidifier, pistol-stuff pockets. Sure you can fill it now.
I have the exact same cept lights, did my own.
Thanks guys! I'm happy to get all my stuff back here to the house... been in my other safe at my sister's place while i waited for this one. Will be like Christmas all over again! Only have a few pistols up here so far, so excited to get the rest, and my long guns back on site.

The driveway to the shop will be getting paved in the next couple months, and the concrete stairs poured where there's just dirt in the above pics
In the process of getting bids on landscaping too... 170 yards of dirt coming in, irrigation, grass, etc. Had a landscape architect do a nice plan for us, then they kicked it over to Mr. Ben Dover for install... So I'm getting more bids :)

Before irrigation install started and following plantings, i took the opportunity to dig down and run a line off a stub going into our septic for dumping the RV and ultimately tying the shop into it

I also ran a natural gas sleeve up to the patio from the shop, where the sleeve comes over from the house... that way i can run a line up to the patio for a natural gas firepit down the road... again, no digging ;)

I second the thumbs up on the Quick Curb... Very clean look and no weed wacking.. just drive the mower over it.
Very nice!

With the exception of the bike. I need to thank you. I copied the tool storage this past weekend. Saved a lot of room. No flimsy gimmick junk hanging sliding system from the orange box store
Raising boys into RealMen!!
Just saw this, hey no prob! Yeah those sliding systems are so expensive too! Not very much bang for the buck

Started raking out.
(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160612/be761a1deb35caf8f1338626f04cf74e.jpg)
The plan is to rake it out, drag it out with a gate drag I made, throw grass seed down, roll it, and call it good. I put the top soil down basically to cover the millions of surface rocks. I picked up the big ones, but there's no way I could pick them all up.
Eventually we'll have cedars, vine maples, and fruit trees back there, but for now I just wanted to get grass down so I could mow it. Was spraying weeds all the time, and it looked like crap, so grass will spruce it up while phase 2b of landscaping is on hold.

Kyle it may sound counter intuitive, but faster is better on the box blade. You should have a scale on the lever that controls the height of the box. Back into the pile and drop the blade to a fairly high setting and then drive off. Once you get it spread roughly, then go over it with the box at a level that barely skims the surface. Keep going over it and make the turn and come back without changing the blade height. Then lower it a small amounts and go back over it again. repeat until its smooth.

Running power, water, gas, and comm will have to wait a bit. After those are in, I'll run air lines around the work area to the compressor room, then insulate and sheet.
For now, just trying to get the shell done and finished from the exterior.

I have a bunch of 15s that works great for cleaning and moving water around, but they get heavy!
Have a switchable trap for the slop sink or just remove the trap. Not a big deal when washing hands as the soap will break it down just like it comes off the hands.

Basically keeping dirty/oily/greasy crap out of my septic tank. Will just drain the wash basin into the dirt, albeit underground, out back behind the shop. Don't tell the EPA.

What I did in my step dads shop when we installed the concrete & in ground lift (lift was recessed into the floor so it was lowest point or where we needed a drain) was to run that drain over to 50 gallon plastic drum under the concrete. I built a nice removable steel lid for it as well but the drain from the lift came in near top of drum. Then about a foot lower I had the outflow tube which ran through a commercial oil filter material in a housing in the line. Can't recall where I purchased it but back then I was doing water treatment & sewage treatment construction so guessing it was a supply catalog for them. Once it exited this filter it went out into a field tile. Pretty good system as the big solids & dirt settle in the 50 gal (can be cleaned out whenever) & the filter absorbs the oil. So as the good stewards of the land that we are its left in good shape for our kiddos...... ;)
Post by: KensAuto on August 19, 2016, 10:47:55 AM
jk, but for what it's worth, my shop is septic, and washing our nasty hands 20 or more (2-3 people) times a day for several years hasn't affected it. The bacteria is stronger than Zep hand cleaner I guess....but...I also keep straight chemicals/oil out of the sink.

What's the dry ice for Bob?
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
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.

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.

What concerns me is the roof that drains into the valley.
Post by: Bear9350 on September 02, 2016, 01:56:53 PM
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.
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.
Post by: Dawg25385 on September 06, 2016, 11:12:39 PM
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

To me the outlets look fine. There's gotta be some contrasting color and the small splashes of it doesn't detract from the overall room, the feng shui if you will.

I like your taste in movies......I bet you can find Star Wars themed outlets and switches
Room looks great. I like the contrast, but maybe not so stark. A subtle shift in the force, if you will. TRN's got the ticket with the themed covers. But that's just like, my opinion man. You could get a nice area rug to really tie the room together...

Good choice! I have those exact same lights & love them. I can also attest to their durability as one was hung incorrectly & fell from a 10' ceiling hitting the JK hardtop on the way to the concrete floor. Figured it would be toast but hung it back up & still working fine today.

Shawn, how square feet per light do you have in your setup? I'm going to be a little less than 100 square feet per fixture in the main shop area (behind the double door)
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I have them on two different runs, basically low (one run) & high (two runs) the separate runs are staggered if that makes sense? Low is right at one fixture for every 150 sq ft & its acceptable. High is at one fixture for every 60 sq ft & I love it, everything is lit well with no dim spots.

If it were me I would pull all the ceiling lights on one switch in the work area. Then have separate switches for your dedicated areas/ additional lighting over your workbench that you can switch on when needed.

Do you plan on having a drop cord on a reel that will need a plug-in? I used plug-in boxes to plug the lights into instead of hard wire, so power is available all over the ceiling area. Now if the ceiling area is going to be left open you can add anytime. That is a very nice shop/garage/storage area Kyle.
Post by: JR on September 20, 2016, 02:41:43 PM
You could also just run the light runs all to one box and modify as seen by use.

Not like my 70 year old dad who ratchet strapped a ladder to the bucket of a 45ft boom lift because he needed to top a tree that was taller than the lift. I come over and he's out on the ladder with a chainsaw. I sat down and drank my coffee to watch. Mom came out and asked me why I wasn't telling him to get down.
I just said " he's a grown man, and he knows better. I just want to be here when he hits the ground so I can laugh at him"

Think I'm going to go with the True North made by Pacific Energy. Have to get EPA certified where I'm at, and this seems like a nice simple stove. Have had multiple dealers recommend this unit for my application now at the fair, and home shows last year.
Lordy I didn't realize how expensive double wall chimneys are though, and install. 900 for the stove, 1225 for pipe, and 450 for install. Plus tax, but less a $300 tax credit come April.

Im trying to remember how my inspections went... i think i had everything signed off before i ultimately finished the electrical, insulation and drywall. Maybe just a plug or two and some lights. Probably helped that the electrical inspector really liked how nice of a job i did wiring the panel.

Kyle, you might want to look at a rider on the insurance to protect you from a kid jumping off that wall and hurting themselves.
Ditto this....I live next to a pond and have had kids pass through my yard to get to it. I added $1MM liability and it was dirt cheap....less than $50 a year or something?
A buddy of mine is a contractor....he hates inspectors....he said they will ALWAYS find "something" wrong so they feel like they did their job. He said the key is to leave something that's easy to fix for them to find....a ground wire not screwed down in an outlet or something else. Beats having them come up with something that's a total pita to fix.
Good luck it looks REALLY great!
Post by: Dawg25385 on October 04, 2016, 04:30:43 PM
There will be a fence along the property line, up to, on, and after the wall. But an insurance policy is something I'll look into

Kyle, you might want to look at a rider on the insurance to protect you from a kid jumping off that wall and hurting themselves. Or some one drives into the end of the wall, I know your property but a unmovable object placed adjacent to the driving lane with no end protection. Sounds dumb right, I used those type blocks to contain a winter sand pile, Stacked 3 high not two. Had a kid problem and risk management paid the darn claim. They told me I should have laid down some soft sand around the blocks to keep them from getting hurt.things like this just hurt my head!

Definitely don't want to rain on any parades, but that thing does not want to get straight. It is some sort of stiff vinyl and to this day wants to return to its coiled shape. Mine pulls off the wall routinely!
Be careful uncoiling it, as it will kink and tear easily. Next time i am going to purchase the straight blue tubing stuff which is considerably more money, but it looks much neater.
I'd suggest warming it up prior to laying it out. Clamp it like every 16" if you can...

First, had to put box extenders on all the ceiling boxes, as they were set for 1/2" Sheetrock and 5/8 is what I used. After that, ran string lines to get a line for the lights. Finished shortening the plugs too. Got 2 of the 3 rows done. Going to be plenty of light that's for dang sure

It was definitely worth it taking the time to shorten the plugs. Looks much cleaner without the 5' cord coiled up there

You'll love that kreg jig if you plan to dabble in making some furniture or cabinet boxes. :)For sure! And then you'll be looking at the bigger kits, and clamps, and...
I have a bunch and it's nice stuff to work with. Just 40 bucks you to death. Lol.

We had an 8 headed track torch where we used nat gas as the pre heat / pre pierce warm up stage. Think 3x normal size torch heads blowing nat gas out of them full bore in our shop to cut 2" plate & a 1/2" line supplied those. If I recall correctly they had to come in and change valves or regulators etc but the line size was not the issue.

They probably increased the pressure. I was reading that you can get 6psi in commercial/high density applications from my gas provider. That's 24x the pressure of residential.

Honestly, it sounds like you know more than I in regards to nat gas. In my house we have a 3/4" feed & max it is only 3k sq ft with a single forced air furnace, water heater & gas stove.

Does anybody have any experience with gas lines? I'm trying to figure out if i have enough to run a 50k BTU gas furnace in the shop, given i only have 1/2" line stubbed at the house. Trying to read online and it's confusing the crap out of me.
"IF" it was just a 50K heater I would say you are fine. NG flows at around .75 psi and I had a 3/4 line for my entire house (all gas).
I just got a 400K pool heater that needs 3/4 for under a 50ft run. PGE put a huge meter in for free leaving the 3/4 feed for the house but T'd it with a 1.25 line for the heater and a on demand water I am planning and will go to an electric dryer with my solar system.
Remember pipe is OD for size and tube is ID for size, so that 3/4 is really just over 1/2.

The whole property is getting fenced first week in May, with a steel gate across the shop driveway, so this project is a prerequisite so they can install the fence just inside the new blocks.
Would have made much more progress, but need to go get blocks!

Back yard is the north side of the house so it gets almost no sun in the winter so moss grows like crazy. Put down a heavy dose of Scott's turfbuilder with moss out this evening.
I need to dig down about 6" and bring in good topsoil like I did at my old place.
It was gorgeous.

Did some road work a few years ago now. Every few years we try and improve/ maintain the road. It is always a constant struggle with "rocks" getting pushed up and then the holes that follow after removing said rocks. My uncle operated the back hoe to dig them out and I used the skid-steer to double team the big ones to pop them out of the hole. The bigger ones we pulled out were around 3- 4 ft round. Some of them required both the skid-steer and backhoe pushing on them to clear them of the road.

Nice work there Dawg.....now on the outside kennel fence, remember to have the lower bars of the fence/enclosure a few inches up off of the ground, so you can spray/hose it down easily and remove debris like terds etc. easily. My trainer who has 40+ kennels has the front up just enough to slide the feed pans under without opening all of the doors etc.

My landscaping equipment was here there and everywhere, so I decided to organize it all in one corner of the garage, and get some stuff up on the wall

I have 3 in 40cal for a glock. Think they are KCI not drop free. Free to a good home.Those commifornia regs are out to lunch.
At least I can just pin mine to 10 rds and be legal.
10 for pistol, 5 for semi rifle of any variety.
Somehow safer, cause no one likes carrying 10 mags...
And a mag change takes so long...
SMH
I feel your pain JR, but to a seemingly lesser degree these days.
And here we are junkin' up Kyles thread... Sorry Dawg.

You can use a regular 10rd mag in the pistol not pinned, right?

Anything over is pinned, with a pop rivet...
Heck, they've even screwed us with 10-22 mags now. By reading their rules a different way...the 25's and bigger need pinned now as they for the pistol version that came many decades later.
Now, the 10 round AR pistol mags are legal as the were designed for the pistol... Figure that out if you can...
Sorry Kyle.

You will need a license to buy ammo in 18 and they are looking at how many total rounds you have.

Total ammo...ouch, time to stock up.
