Jason, Thanks for the info ... sounds very well engineered and it will be one solid structure that's for sure! You will need to pardon my ignorance, as the majority of residential construction in California is with timber on either a slab or raised foundation, which is what I am used to seeing. There are shear walls and steel clips for earthquake resistance, with typical roofing consisting of composition shingles which are light weight and fire resistant. Look forward to your progress ... and more importantly, what kind of cars find their way into your new shed :) - Tim |

Slab down and first 800mm of wall up. Wall to be core filled then tanked on the back to water proof before the aggy drains go down and back filled with rock. The wall closest to the camera is a step up to the existing garage area. All non-retaining walls on the bottom level will be framed and skinned with render bricks. The garage entries will be a 4.8m and 6.0m panel lift, about 3 metres in height. |

Looking really good Jason. Nice to see some big water tanks in there too.
Looking forward to more progress pics. Cheers |
garage update
The old Garage has been cleaned out. Doors removed and prepped ready for a new slab to be laid.
http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...m/IMG_0616.JPG View from the driveway. We had a hold up over the Easter period due to some reengineering for the steel work. The uprights came today. beams should be here tomorrow. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...m/IMG_0614.JPG View from the front door. May be the last photo from this angle for a while, as the stairs are coming down soon. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...m/IMG_0615.JPG Once the new floor is on, the old garage roof will come down and work will start on the second level. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d.../IMG_06131.JPG Inspected today, pest spayed on Friday, concrete in on Wednesday. Steel beams should arive tommorrow, hopefully they can crane them straight off the truck and in to place. Then we need to get the ground floor lid on and get the brickies in again. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d.../IMG_06121.JPG |
The crane truck arived this morning with the large steel beams.:)
It is currently on it's side in the drain opposite my house waiting for another bigger crane truck to arrive to pull it out :CRY: |

How happy does this fellow look?
http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...m/IMG_1024.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...m/IMG_1022.JPG It been 4 hours and they still haven't budged it! |
Bugger! That looks like it'll be a pain to move. How did he manage to stuff it in there? Looks like he's cut the corner too sharp.
|
Mike, I think you meant 'clipped the apex'.. :LOL:
|
That is quite the road to get to your place!

On another note, Jason, when are you going to get the driveway and your street sealed? Surely you're not going to let your Cobra's et al live in that fantastic garage all dirty? |
Last of the steel arrived today.
http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...um/photo10.JPG Floor joists comming soon. Need the rain to stop so they can poor the upper level slab and footings. |
How many units are you building Jason?
|
Seperate houses
Didn't he say a house for him and a house for her at the start?? - lol
I reckon its a B&B on the go and will be oriented towards motoring enthusiasts. Yes I'll have the full english breakfast when I get up at 10am Jason! |
Jason
