@Bareback @raratt

i need to hurry the fuck up.I need to get the stemwalls poured, cripple walls built and the 2x12 floors framed in so I can get my layed off due to the virus plumber brother rough in the plumbing before they open up his jobsite again. then i can glue and screw subfloor. and frame walls. He’s the best And cheapest plumber i know.

Not doing a slab?

 

[Aeroknow]

You probably got enough rain to soften that clay a bit, we did here anyway.

i did! Much more than that last weak ass rain

Not doing a slab?

Oh hell no!

not to knock slab foundation, i’ve owned a few tract homes with it, but it’s hardly ideal IMO

Hope your slithery friends don't move in there...lol.

Great weather today huh? Loved the slight cloud cover! Got about one more day of tractor work and then gonna setup the batter boards and then start digging the footings

as soon as the permit is issued I’ll call for an inspection. Your not supposed to start until permit issued but fuck them.

You are keeping them safe by only interfacing with them once. You are only thinking of their welfare!

the trick ass shit to lay some 6mil down and spray some shotcrete down before framing the floors. Not sure that i’ll do that but my concrete buddy is trying to convince me. Then i wont have to crawl on my stomach to get shit done down there down the road. I’ll be able to get around on a car creeper

I have always dreamed of doing that or digging out a basement.

Not once, ever!

Exactly!!!!

dude. It’s actually pretty cost effective to go deep and pour walls if you’re already going to be doing new foundation. Problem is here, it’s ALL rock under about 1-2’ of top soil lol

 

[Mohican]

We were looking at a house on the top of a hill and down below was a new house under construction. The entire lot was solid rock that they were blasting out. I have always wondered what kind of $$$ that takes.

 

[curious2garden]

Exactly!!!!

Pour in place subterranean walls are an entirely different discussion.

That's how I ended up with my cement pond

There was a grow operation out in the desert where they drilled pillar holes and pored a slab. Then they excavated underneath and had a huge grow operation. While they were waiting to get the electrical hooked up they used multiple industrial diesel generators and got busted.

basements can be very useful....

I wonder how they got busted, sinkhole? I'd worry about the geological stability of an underground structure in the Mojave. You'd have to have some seriously thick walls.

Some seedlings for the winter veg. No tomatoes that time has passed and it was battle with a ring tailed possum family to get them. Getting some potatoes going tomorrow and a few others. I’ve also got snow peas sprouted.

 

[Dreaming1]

I have some heirloom seeds headed here in the mail.
My mountain bike is a used Schwinn I picked up at the shop the Storage Wars couple had in Orange.

Anyone into tomatoes owes it to themselves to grow a Cherokee purple. Bumpy,cracking,ugly fruits. The best flavor.

I thought for sure you were gonna say they got busted for ripping the power. I was gonna say what a bunch of scumbag low-life dipshits
