I just checked the price on a drywall lift. $89 for a week.

I still can't see it. Maybe the problem is on my end.
Anyone else get the link?

I get the same 404 error

Okay, apparently Google is unreliable or I don't know what I'm doing. Probably the later. So I'm trying Flickr by yahoo. My e-mail has been with yahoo forever and it was not much hassle to set up a Flickr account. Fingers crossed.

Your last post both worked here, and the prior needed me to sign in. I didnt try it today though.
Its got to be exciting on the new project. Big congrats to you all going forward.

How exciting!! Your very own custom shop. Badass!

The guys got a lot of work done these last 8 days. The lot has somewhat of a slope so 6 loads of fill dirt were needed. Then they dug the footers, squared and leveled the batter boards, built the form boards, poisoned the ground and added a moisture barrier. Today they added the rebar and reinforcement mesh. Tomorrow they pour the slab.

I see you decided to go without a basement.

Just kidding.

I'll never forget the first time I looked at the elevation chart for Sanibel Island. 10, 11, 3. Oh, these must be "hundreds". Nope. Those were the actual numbers. Knowing how big storm surges can get that did not engender a safe, cozy feeling.

We live at the bottom of a hill. The hill rises about 50' in a two block stretch. At the top of the hill sits a house with four levels. Including the basement. You don't see too many basements in Florida. Her neighbor across the street has a running spring in her back yard. That is where High Springs got its name. High Springs was a major stop for the steam powered locomotives. They ran a gravity fed pipe from that spring down to the train station to fill the tanks on the trains.

Concrete is poured and the guys started framing last week. There will be a window on each side of the garage door. Woke up at 5:30 this morning. At 6:00 I heard noises out there. The boss was out there picking up some tools. These guys start early.

I love concrete work!
I hate sweatin and busting my az doing it though. I have found its not cheap by any means and theres two kinds cracked and going to crack. Thee art is knowing the best cut joint locations more is always good, and expansion joint needs for the loacalle. I really like this stuff in a link below for the deep thin cuts ( skip the foam n use this totally ) imo

They make the thicker version i like for expansion joint topping, it levels also just a pain for saw cuts imo.
They have the tubes in super size thats really works well although not a biggy. All these take a long time to dry ( i say quality takes time ) the company also makes a sealer helper this i have used and a pain to use but it is the above and beyond method. Most important ask your pro contractor
Enjoy the new build there, its always a great time

The contractor came over and asked me if I wanted expansion joints. This was a big decision for me because I like the freedom of sliding heavy furniture across the floor but my last shop didn't have any and big cracks formed.

So I decided to add them. he cut 3 one way and 2 the other. He said he could fill them with a type of calking material.
