Good for you Bill, personally I think you need your head examined, but the fact is you are the landlord.

Bill god bless you she must be a good women to have a shovel in her hand .... best of luck in the new shop.. Ok now my Plumbing contractor hat goes on ... check out the new SAND TRAP / OIL SEPERATORS .. they come in Plastic and makes it legal to install drains in the floor .... also have you considered radiant heat .. or maybe you dont need it down south there ???

Ron

congrats Bill.

Tell Viviann she's a special lady and you're a lucky man.

Some people have all the luck, some people have all the pain.
You call those footings?
Here I need to be 42" to the bottom of the excavation.
Also we can't form concrete to earth. We need forms...and I can't get my wife to dig. How much does she charge?
I have to pay six wetbacks and rent an excavator, and pay to have the earth (dirt) trucked away.
Geeze!

She is the best! I have a radiant heater now. It is a chicken brooder heater. It rund on natutal gas and I have half of it plugged off because it gets too hot. I love it! I am plumbing for a bathroom and sink only...well axecpt for air. I can run a floor drain out on the ground. Yes Doug, here we only have to dig 1 foot to the freeze line. The building inspector drives a big block 66 Nova at the local track. We not best buddies, but he knows me well enough to make it easy.( I hope)

Bill
I figured it's got to be two things.
1 You must be the luckiest guy to have women that help you dig holes!
2 You must be great at superimposing people on backgrounds...

Three months....specify, specify.... drive....Waaa!

Looking good and making progress!

It sure is coming along! Thanks for keeping us informed and for the pictures. It is really interesting to see all you have done.

Before I started this project, I would get up in the morning and see what my day would be. Now I am consumed with this building. It has been a lot of fun so far, even with a few setbacks. I hope I started with enough money to finish it out with style. Wait 'till you see my sign. It will have a red GTS on it!

I'm closing this post and gettin' busy!! Need to seal the presure booth a little better...I think I have done 3 all overs and a couple of covers. I think this was the best thing I ever did, and it only took six months. Please call for appointment..LOL I'm going to the Pub......
