Ground Breaking, shop build starts (Concrete!)
Well, I guess we've finally broken ground on the new shop building. We moved to our new place almost nine months ago so the -8 project has been mothballed. We started planning this building even before we closed on the house. This is something I've always wanted to do. It is going to be 40' x 30', 12' ceilings, fully finished like living space except no "plumbing". There will be a full length 8' wide porch on one side so I can watch my vegetable garden grow. The GC is "TC Construction" and I seem to be the field supervisor. It should be exciting but boy it is amazing how hard it is to get contractors to do work for money.

You'll just have to read through the quotes. I can't afford the taxes or the completely re-engineered septic system that would be required and never approved.

what if there might be something here or there that you had measurements for and maybe at a later time a hammer broke through thin portion of concrete and might have gone to something that was planed but never GOT installed at the time of final inspection?

Just got in from the hangar a few minutes ago giving some US friends a tour. She peeked in the washroom and I said it's the best part of this hangar.

Porta-Potty
I have a detached shop I built. Has water but sink drains to the wash on the property. I just use the sink to wash up after a day of airplane building. Bio breaks give me a chance to go into the house and check in with the boss.

Shop Plumbing
My shop is five miles from my house. Since the site did not pass a perk test I installed a 1500 gallon holding tank for septic which is pumped every couple of years and the utility sink unofficially drains to a rock bed.

Taxes? Texans pay a higher tax rate if the building has indoor plumbing?
