Well, I went to the meeting and had no luck. I now have to apply for a variance and go through that process. The deadline for the August public hearing was July 4th so I missed that and now I have to wait until September 7th and plead my case and hope they approve.

Well if that don't suck hind teat. Strap on the sidearms, show em you're there locked and loader, either they do as you wish, or there'll be hell to pay.
No, I guess that would be jail time. It works that way in the movies, or Hollyweird.

There was a time when you saw the building inspector to get a permit he would open his desk draw and leave the room.
If you closed the draw after he returned you were approved instantly.

So true...That's what my dad did to build the garage I buy from him, the other inspector tell him the garage we build was 2' too large. Now today I try to build a side extension or another building and they say NO! Only mid time solution is buying a 20'+ big closed trailer and store my toys in it.

I wish you good luck Todd but if nothing work bring the special donuts at their next reunion and remove all hygiene paper rolls from their bathroom

It is called toilet paper, and yes a little Exlax in the doughnuts will make the bathroom crowded,
and smelly,
and noisy.
They will be using their socks to wipe themselves

Well, 11 months later and not even close.

Got the old barn torn down.
DSCN3430.jpg
Saved a bunch of the old lumber to finish off a "man cave area". Look at the roof decking....tounge & groove Oak.
DSCN3458.jpg

I save everything I could so I have a nice stack if the termites don't get to it before I do.

Like most people her in the south, we got hammered with rain in May and I couldn't do much. Got about 3" of rain one night and my footings filled with water. Took a long time to pump that out and even longer to shovel all the muck out.
IMG_4898.jpg

My buddy dug the footing while I was at work and he had to go a little deeper than I wanted but I'm on pretty good soil now. This is a monolithic slab and should only turn have gone 18" deep but we are at 3' in some spots. I made the decision to pour a footer for the mono-slab to set on. It will be about 20" wide and anywhere from 12" to 2' thick. I purchased 5000lbs of 60 grade #4 rebar to run in the footings and in the slab. This weekend I ran 3 runs of rebar on 3" chairs to set in the footings. I then ran vertical rebar up every 5' to turn down into the slab when I start working that part. Dang it was hot here but I took my time and took plenty of breaks and drank lots of water. In the first pic you can see that I laid out (3) 100' rolls of 6 mil plastic to keep the mud out of the footings.

I'm not sure how it is in others parts of this great country but it is super expensive to hire contractors here in Georgia. I got a few prices for the mono-slab and they are getting near $10.00/sq ft here....Yes, I was quoted $24,000.00 for a 4" thick slab with no rebar and only wire mesh being used. I asked about doing a stem wall type pour and was quoted over $36,000.00. That is why I'm doing it myself.+ I can use to loose a few pounds.

Cool to see progress!

We can't do monolithic slabs here because of freeze/thaw. Not on a building. Do it a lot with pavilions and just outdoor slabs. We either do stem-wall, or similar. That said, when doing a pole building, we seldom use footers. Generally we put of the building, case the lower half in treated lumber and fill the floor into the area, no footer except at the door openings. (At door openings a footer is put in place, then the floor poured on top of it.) If the building isn't heated, the floor will float on the freeze. If heated, the underneath side stays thawed, so no issue. The building is supported on the posts that are set, so no worries. If stick built, like I said, stem-wall (poured foundation, then mason block up to the desired height) or sometimes poured walls depending on application.

You mentioned cost.... yeah, concrete work is expensive. We just built a 1 car garage for a lady late last fall. (Finished in December.) We had the foundation poured, wall poured to 18" or so, then floor poured. Garage was like 12'X24' and had a breezeway that attached it to the house that was maybe 5'X10'. I think the floor was 4". The company we sub'd leveled the area and dug the foundation, so they did all the base work. It was about $9,000 if I remember correctly, and they didn't do the driveway. Some of her family did that. We built the garage and breezeway. I think our part was about $7,000. So.... yeah. It's expensive.

Good to see a little progress, but I know it ain't happening as fast as it should. Up here it's the same story with concrete work. Ain't cheap.
We just got two quotes on sealcoating the driveway, bout chit myself. We had the blacktop put in last summer, and it was recommended to have that done the next year.
Taint cheap either...
Good luck Todd, at least you can do some of it yourself. And you do need to lose a few pounds.

Looks good Todd! I built a Steel shop building about 20 years ago on a monolithic slab.... went ahead and did footers even though I didn't have to.. 2 ft deep on one side to get down to the original dirt level before fill.. I have never regretted it.. no issues with cracking or settling at all.. I didn't use rebar but did use fiber reinforced concrete.

Keep us posted!! Progress looks good!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
