Been outside all day digging ditches. I have a lot of ground water next to the house we are trying to redirect away and into drain tiles. Then we found a huge pine stump right next to one of the footings we have to tie into. first inspection is Monday afternoon.

Bummer - The stump has to go! Get as much of the root system that you can.
What is that white looking pipe? Is that a drain line?

 

[wheeler1963]

Sherrel, that is a 4" slotted drain tile. It has plastic peanuts around it with a mesh cover. The theroy is you bury it, the water seeps into the mesh/peanuts and into the tile drain then rolls down the line. I have two 10' sections at each end of the garage, then it goes into regular 4" drain tile and out the back of the yard about 90' away. In this picture you can see it attached to the regular drain tile.

Awesome day!! We now have a floor!!

Inside measurements are 11' 6" across. 23' 9" long.

Looking good!
That's about the measurement of my room, the door is about the same place too.

Yes, there should be enough trackage for a Switcher procession.

Rick, do you have a drop bridge at the door?

Toot, the long wall I'll dedicated for JTEX my switcher rebuilder/junk yard shops.

 

[Rico]

Rick, do you have a drop bridge at the door?

No, my last layout had a blob with a grade on one side and a helix back down on the other.
Now that I'm getting older and have a back injury I'm building a variation of Pelle Soeberg's Daneville UP layout with a duck under, no moveable entry. Go figure, eh?

Rick, I like that BN plan!! I was thinking an around the room layout. But I really like the idea of that out and about in the middle. Hmmmmm thoughts to ponder.

Another good day for concrete!!

 

[wheeler1963]

Ok, 320 bricks, a ton of mortar sand, 4 bags of mortar mix, 11 anchor bolts. Brick layer will be here tomorrow to lay the outside brick fascia.

Jerome, do you have a track plan thread going?

 

[wheeler1963]

Jerome, do you have a track plan thread going?

Anton, no not yet. Once I get the building built and completed, then I will be asking for a lot of ideas.

 

[wheeler1963]

Brick fascia going in today.

 

[wheeler1963]

Brick fascia is finished. 5 days dry time before I can start building on it.

The project is really moving along!

I guess I didn't realize you were pouring concrete. I just happen to be a construction inspector (concrete, soil, bituminous) for mostly commercial jobs, was out on a pour this morning. I guess it is a little late to offer any tips.
