rhyno Report post Posted March 24, 2016 The snow put me about a month behind in December and January. I have a long driveway with a decent angle so no big trucks would drive down it. They feared that they would get stuck lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortis Report post Posted March 29, 2016 Rhyno is there are reason why you haven't continued the concrete wall of the detached garage and used timber on the upper section? Great progress, the weather looks horrible can't imagine working in those conditions Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyno Report post Posted March 29, 2016 The garage walls will get back framed and insulated. Since the concrete will be hidden there was no reason to keep it all at the same height. Saved some money this way. The snow and cold really does slow down the progress. The house is much further in the build then I have shown, I'm just so busy it makes it hard to upload new progress pics for you guys!

VCR Report post Posted March 29, 2016 Looking great, congrats again! Everyone's complaining about the weather . No doubt December and January were bad, as expected; but it actually looks kind of "nice" by the local standard. This really is not bad at all. Full steam ahead.

I see, thank you for the explanation, seeing the photos below it makes sense. Take your time with the photos, I know it can be a bit of a PITA to be always there for them.

I would not be out in that weather How much time do you have before the water in the concrete freezes? It doesn't look like fun.

rhyno Report post Posted March 30, 2016 I'm going from memory but I think they said it was 90% cured in about 12 hours and then the last 10% took a few days. They also had to tarp the foundation walls to help cure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vilhelm Report post Posted March 30, 2016 Very cool. Thanks for sharing. I just got some acoustic doors installed in my apartment - 40dB for all the bedrooms. These doors are HEAVY (110 pounds) and have double rubber gaskets. If you haven't looked into this, definitely do. I can basically have a party in one bedroom and not hear any noise in the other bedroom that's 10 yard away. It's freaking epic! Also consider hiring a company that does acoustic work. Small things will make a huge difference in regards to how sound is blocked/absorbed. http://www.soundproofingcompany.com/soundp...proofing-walls/ Lots of good articles about soundproofing and what needs to be done to achieve the desired results.
