Yep, no sealer or tape on the pipe and had rusted through. Getting it off was a challenge in itself.

Picked up a load of Roxul today for the floors and walls. Ordered the roofing r30 but Lowes said it won't be in until almost mid Jan!

Thinking I may just double up the wall insulation would would be cheaper and give me a 6in bat vs the 5.5in on the r30. Still get my airflow as the joists are 7.5in.

Got the door framed in and found the garage is not quite vertical, wonder who did that?? I built it so it all lines up at least.

Got most of the foam up. Almost out but using the foil backed above the roof line and some extra below.

The split ac unit came in today and I got going on the closet.

Have to strip it out and add supports for the center beam. Then shear it with OSB and pin it to the new structure.

Then the floor comes out for 4 footings. Will do the sewer line since it is just 8ft away.

Got it opened up and need to put 3 footings down.

Not a lot of space but could be worse.

Cut out the last joist and marked it out. Found the footing there goes about 8in under the block, just next to where I need to put the main footing for the main beam.

Will sister a 2x6 to the existing then add new joists on hangers when done.

Need 4 footings along the 14ft wall, need to dig 3 out. Only this one needs triming, others are clean dirt/clay.

Got a Bauer SDS Max hammer/drill to assist in all this along with the spade for digging. Boys will get to haul dirt  :smiley: 

Mixing cement under there will not be fun.

The outside wall on the addition is over the center of the house with just a simple wall under it. Under the house there is simply a doubled 2x6 with footings every 8ft of so. By shearing the wall this spreads the load along the entire length of the load even though it is bolted the the houses center beam up top. 

The post that supports the roof center beam needs a support to the foundation also, hence the 18 footing. Then there is another on both corners below the addition and another under a door jam that places the footing about every 4ft.

None of this takes into account the two 10in I beams the run the length of the house (manufactured home). Engineer said it needs to be build almost like a stand alone structure. Way overkill.

Got her dug out but decided to use the old footing with the new. Cut the Sono to match, added some rebar to tie it in and mixed what amounted to 5 bags for it. (60#)

Sistered the 2x6 above and used a DIY plumb bob. Added a couple rebars to the pad and filled it up. Later the kids put their initials in it.

I have one that will help and he is good when he gets going. However getting him there proves to be a challenge sometimes.

Finished all the footings, got the posts set and started to build the floor back up. Had to insulate the HVAC crossover that is located there (had a rat issue long ago).

This might be a dumb question but why did you wait until the end to pour the footings? Then since you waited do you have to do any jacking of the structure etc to get things in their rightful place as a result? Assuming you are going to check for that?

Yes, I should have done this first but I started it when school was in then. Would have been better for me with the heat also at that time.

It is disrupting my daughter who is an A student, on the track/cross country team and wasn't told to do this until about a month ago anyway.

I was never really worried about the structure as it was. Even though the center wall is supported a little and there is a whole house 2 1/2x24 center beam, there are alsofour 10 inch I beams running the length of the house. One side rests on that and the other on the garage foundation. Between that and the LVLs and the end wall shearing. Plus removing all the weight of the old roof (3 roofs, not shingle layers) I am not concerned.

Here is a scetch showing all the original footings and my additions.

Me too, but that is what she wanted.

Onto the HVAC and the insulation. Space heater was doing the job, well still is but my bill was crazy last month.

Finished the foam insulation and roxuled the small wall.

Debating on running the vents out the side vs the roof. Can do either or mode later but running them out by the stairs right now is easy.

Finished the HVAC today, another hurdle. Nice to have it back.

The space heater was doing OK but the bill was killing me. It drew 1300watts and ran all day sometimes. Thats 31,200 watts a day!!

Meant to post this when I finished up on the foundation. For the space I had this in a must.

I picked up a Bauer SDS MAX hammer drill from good ol HF and it has done its job very well.

My only complaint is it come with NO BITS, so add another $80 to the $130 price.

Got the discounts with them so it didn't hurt as bad. Then I found a coupon for the driver saving another $30.

Good to know JR. I rented a Bosch chipping hammer (little bigger than that BDS) and it cost almost as much as buying that one.  Worked well for talking up tile.

They make a lighter duty also but this one has twice the impact (6lb vs 3) and the metal gearbox. Plus it has a trigger varible speed vs the dial on the light duty.

With the coupon it cost the same as the all plastic one.

I had to buy the spade bit, drills and standard bits.

Now if there was just an easy way to get the dirt out of the dang hole!

I was in HD a couple months back and they were just putting all of their Dewalt sds Max bits on clearance. I bought all of them (about 30) for 9.00-15.00 each...long 1/2" to 1" bits, plus spades and chisels tips. Couldn't pass it up!

Now she is talking furniture, new bed and desk. Said talk to mom, I built the room  :rolleyes:

Used less than 3 bags of the Roxul for the walls. Didn't figure the windows or bench in. Used the safe/sound for the HVAC cover to quiet it down some and I think it is around and R13 alone.

Have to figure the split system power as it will be separate from the room. Out side unit will share power with the bathroom. Inside unit will be another circut with an outlet just above the bench. Lights and plugs another circut.
