For what it's worth, when they built my barn they used a cement block that the 6x6 post sat on and then filled the hole with pea stone. And, when the barn was complete that's when they laid the concrete.

joby, i need to call you duude... tonight?

Up early again, going to the eye doctor then a little Christmas shopping. Y'all have a great day...... :hello:

Saw the Trans Siberian Orchestra last night. Great show. Took the wife and my parents as a Christmas present. Spectacular lighting, great performance, you can tell all the guitarists are metal heads.

Chris Forsberg is selling off some interesting parts on Facebook, including a DW 3.5L surge tank with dual 350 pumps. Neato

Edit: And a Motec M1 to VQ Harness custom harness adapter. Wiring diagram included, will work with an M130 or M150.

I’m gonna look at these things called biscuits :wtf2:
Either 10 or 12” diameter round cement blocks- designed to sit in bottom of hole :ugh2:
I’ll then attach the post between the dual 2x12’s that’s banded around outside & inside of the bottom...with a few screws to hold in place.
Then I’ll mix up some Quickrete & pour down around the 48” hole.
Planning to do 4-5 per day, to prevent any disruption of the current foundation. After all post all hardened up; I’ll be able to easily raise up box more & completely level the rooftop,,,place concrete blocks underneath the post that holds the upper beams...then I’ll bolt the 6x’s that are sandwiched between the 2x12’s together :tup:
48” deep post will be 24” on center (plenty) and afterwards,I’ll bring in the crush & run...and wacketpacket it :eek:
I’ll then make a form (min 6” thick w/rebar) and put down concrete.....then I can lower the box back down onto the slab after everything dries :tup:
Buried post will be bolted & provide majority of holding strength & also will be in code for my region :tiphat:
A bit of work involved,,,but it’s OK, as the front post will end up 5’ or more deep :eek:

You can call now if you want :stirthepot:

:hello:

I'z up. :yawn:

Clock never went off. Almost slept in. :eek:

Running a bit late. :icon14:

Got about 3" of Al Gore's jizz sitting on the ground. :icon14:

We are going to see them next Sunday. :tup: They put on a great show. :tup:

Susan and I saw the Manheim Steamroller orchestra last night. Amazing as well. Very 90s nostalgic. And now back to work

Their creativity with the visual display is incredible.
