Building a new shop.

[sandblaster]

Yes, it gets cold enough to need heat.
It usually snows in the winter but most of the time it doesn't stick around for long.
We usually get about a month or so of freezing weather.
We are going to use whatever heating and AC unit my contractor is putting in.
I don't know the first thing about it.
We should get the plumbing and electrical final tomorrow.
we'll see....

Getting ready for the storm water storage tank and the parking lot.

[BasketCase]

Your city does not have strom drains, you have to deal with it yourself?

[sandblaster]

Hello.
Yes, they have storm drains.
The purpose of the underground storage tank is to collect the water from the building gutters and the parking lot and run it into the tank. From there it goes into some leaching lines in an effort to return as much of the rain water back into the ground water as possible.
Whatever the system can't handle will over flow into the storm water drainage.
This system works great if all the surrounding property has the same systems.
In our case they don't.
So, their water will go into my parking lot and flood my system, unless I had several thousand more dollars to spend, which I don't.
It's another case of a good idea being poorly executed.
That's what government bureaucracy is for

The electrical inspection has been past so now the power company has to come over and hook it all up.
Our underground tank has came in an the hole is being dug...

How big of a tank are you putting in?

Got a video of my truck for ya lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UubqMqD2MaQ

[sandblaster]

It's approximately 5' x 5' x 8' deep.
Mostly they make you put it in to capture and filter the rain water.
Nice truck.
Reminds me of my dad's 76 Chevy Scottsdale with a few modifications of course

The tank is in.



They are hooking it up today.
That thing is 8' deep!
I'm not sure when we are going to break the street up and run the lines across but it should be soon.
We may have the parking lot done in a few weeks.
List of things to do (As far as I know)
Finish electrical work.
Insulation and drywall.
Install the heating and AC.
Install the hot water heater, sink, toilet, grunt bars, and dispensers.
Get the internet hooked up.
Painting
Seal the floor
Make a sign that says I can't stack anything above 12' and I have to paint a red line all the way around the inside at 12'.
Finish grading the parking lot and pave it.
Make a handicap parking space (Lots of those guys are getting into motocross).
Paint the parking lot lines.
Install bicycle parking space and lock up rack.
Plant city required trees, shrubs, and grass.
Get the final from the city.

 That's because they get all the good starting spots.

I did not see that comin at all. Good find. Glad to see the kid back on a bike but I was nervous watchin the video.

That tank doesn't seem very big. Seems like you'd have to get it cleaned out at least once a year from people throwing trash in it.

Make sure to password your internet very well cuz there are a**holes like me that will leach off you so they don't have to pay for it. I have toys to dump my money into lol

[sandblaster]

I had a friends when I was growing up that raced BMX with me.
He had 1 leg and half an arm missing.
He did the jumps and actually placed third in one race.
He now rides a KX500 so go figure 
I use a secured system for internet so no leaches, unless you count my night watchman who will live on site....

Picked up a Handicap parking sign, mail box letters (They changed my address), Unisex bathroom sign, and more keys for my guys.
Parking lot is being prepped for pavement.
