The gutters are up.
Next week we will tie them into the drainage.


Just found out today that our upstairs joists (2x12) were suppose to be 12" on center.
The contractor put them in at 16" on center.
So, he has to put in more joists to get the 125lb per foot rating that the city requires for storage space.
It's a bummer because we don't need 42 tons of capacity for that floor space.
We can have the floor re-engineered but we would have to go through the city process and it's actually cheaper, faster, and easier to just add the extra joists.
The city should be doing some more inspections today so we should be go for insulation, drywall on the ceiling, and OSB on the walls next week.
Also, we should be ready to dig up the street to run drainage next week so we are getting closer.

Digging up the street for drainage.
What is this?
Oh, it's a high pressure gas line....
Don't want to put a hole in that  :lol:







Tomorrow we have the parking lot to work on, the 220 lines are going in as well as our low voltage network cables.

Why would you feel the need to heat "HOT" water? Generally cold water is fed into the tank which then heats the water. Hence "water heater" :-) Couldn't resist.

It's hard to keep a drivers license riding a 2 stroke dirt bike on the street.  If you drive within the law they are VERY boring.

The roof drainage is being plumbed and the 2nd half of the parking lot is almost ready for concrete.

Looking good. You should put a tire print in the wet cement with the date.
