    That's what I do for a living, so I may as well take advantage of my talents. Probably could've done a basement. I didn't want one. We'll grade it accordingly.

    Steph and I drove out there today. 50 truck loads is the final total. This is the hole we're going to fill in. Looking the opposite direction More dirt Wide angle Steph for scale Future home site. I may have a little too much dirt, but I can use it for fill at the...

    Yeah. Same thing you see in parking lots. You'll just see a square cast iron grate when it's finished. I have installed four of them in various places, along with 420' of pipe and two headwalls Like this.

    We looked through countless hours of floor plans before worrying about the exterior. Honestly, we had started out with a modern home similar to the one you posted. We stayed in a house in Truckee CA and really loved it, but wanted more changes than it made sense to do. It would've been a...

    No, floor plans first. This is the stage of footprint planning. Then we do elevation plans (exterior plans in your description), then it goes to site plans. Pointless to do exterior plans before you know the floor plan. Engineered plans, I assume you're referring to structural, will come last...

    Garage pad wasn't deep enough (front to back). It started out as 25' from the driveway, plus the 12' wide driveway, to front of the 40' deep shop. That was to the very back of the dirt pad (footprint). You really need 5' behind the pad for stability. I think we'll end up around 30-35', plus the...

    Talked with my builder earlier this week. He's about 2 months out. We've got the second revision on the plans to review before they do the elevation views. I'll post them later. Spoke with my grading guy. They've hauled around 50 loads of fill. Going to have to move an excavator out to place...

    As of today, 22 loads have been hauled in. With the weather, I told him to keep hauling until I run out of space or he needs the trucks doing something else. I'm hoping we can fill the entire space, but I'll take what I can get.

    It's like everything else in life. When you need it, there's none to be had. When you need to get rid of some, no one wants it.

    Met my grading guy Wednesday. He immediately said we need more fill, the garage was going to be too close to the driveway. Glad he said it first, because I thought the same. They're hauling fill all day today. Starting with one truck, then going to 3 when they finished up another job. We...

    Well boys we really have power. I took a little light out there a few weeks ago and had no power, even tho my meter was on the transformer was making noise. Didn't have any tools to diagnose at the time and my grading guy said he'd have someone go check it out. I told him I'd investigate, no...

    My avalanche did that, then would not switch to 4wd or out of 4wd, one of the two. Once I got it to do its thing, I cycled it a few times. So far so good

    Tank alone is $8,500. Castings are $700 each (need 2). Depending on depth, you can figure around $350vf for risers (2 sets). Shipping would likely be around $1,500 and you'll need a crane on site to set the tank unless your contractor has an excavator that'll lift 22,500lbs plus rigging.

    So like a tube steel building. Very cool. Share some photos if you'd like. I'm still undecided on which direction I'm going with the shop. It seems wooden pole barn construction is going to be the best value with the ability to insulate. I'll probably end up putting metal on the inside as well.
