TMGT's shop build

Will they pour the floor before framing begins?

I had the guys add a few pieces of pipe in the walls so I could add stubouts for.a possible future bathroom/water and external electric.View attachment 602859View attachment 602860View attachment 602861

Perfect time to install under floor sleeved Pex water supplies and under floor duct work for a down draft HVAC office/small shop for year round heating/cooling. Even if you don't immediately install the system the duct work now it's there for the future. Replaceable water lines are a must at this point.

I'm not a fan of underfloor hvac ducts in concrete personally. I do have it setup so I can slide pex or even abs through conduit for the main water line when the time comes. Wish I had room for an office, right now I'm looking at just doing a small bathroom at some point.

Since living in our house 35 years with below slab ducts and temperatures ranging from -21°F to + 113°F I can't see any other way to heat and cool a 1,800 sq. foot ranch for the cost of our utility bills. But I understand each have their own reasons. Good luck with the build.

I think application on a house would make more sense, but with my shop I didnt want anything in the concrete because I'll be drilling into it to mount equipment. For the machine area and possibly the bathroom I'll just use portable type A/C. The ultimate goal for the shop is to have a waste oil heater one day.

I just hate digging up concrete so I prefer to have plumbing/havc/electric in a more accessible area.

Flat work crew getting the base, plastic, and rebar in. They worked so late I couldn't get a good picture before they started pouring in the morning.




Because if the lack of access along the sides of the building we ended up getting a pumper.

Slab is getting poured, unfortunately the weather changed over night for the worse. Cold, windy, and rained some overnight, darn red oak decided to drop all its leaves onto the pour.

Pours is all done, they worked it the best they could and most of it was fantastic, but there was a delay in the truck (you can see where they stopped in the photo) so it ended up with a cold joint that. Also ended up with way too many leaves at or close to the surface. Ended up having to grinding it in the end

I think in most cases the pumper truck is the cheapest worker onsite. I think it adds quality to the end result.

Very typical and a bit disappointing to see the rebar laying on the deck. Obvious they weren't lifting it. Very typical.

Beautiful setting for a home and shop.
