But after looking hard at it....wondering if it’s gonna be a peckerhead getting concrete all around the post & to the outside that 1.5”

Could have the concrete just inside the 6x6’s & then use solid cement blocks between the 6x’s all the way around, as when garage is let down to resting point, it will be bolted back to the 6x’s to hold in place.

Thought’s and any other idears welcome

Or either delete the concrete from going to outside of 6x posts & risking breaking off that piece....

I know there’s plenty ways to skin this puss

Again I’m in need of a sketch or something showing what your end goal is for the columns and slab.

High level, 1.5” is not going to be enough cover on the outside of those columns. That **** is going to crack and ultimately break off.

Too me, all this is craziness. It's just a dang garage. JC needs to stop spending everything he has on this thing and just get it done although it has been a backwards start from the get go. LOL

I just put my hand over my eyes with just a little slit between two fingers so I can click the like button. LOL

8.5” of wood will sit around the 6” minimum thickness concrete; but the building will be bolted to the 20-6x6 posts that are cemented 42-48” in the ground before any more wood is fastened to it.
The 5/8” bolts are currently holding the structure suspended until the concrete is finished & drys 5-6 weeks.

Are you going to put a window in the back of the garage so you can look @ your Z from your house? Bc that would be awesome!

Two tin cans on a string for garage/house intercom.

You should. The approach really needs to be a separate pour with expansion and rebar pegs. This lets the approach hinge with the floor without damaging anything.

I'd also pour the approach about 1/2" below the top of the floor. Helps keep wind driven rain from blowing under the door.

JLarson · 01-20-2020, 06:36 AM

Morning all! Hope you had a great weekend. All guitars and bass are now done being tracked for my album, planning to knock out some vocals this week.

Oh, and with my abrupt surplus of free time, I guess I'll start DEI wrapping my turbo kit :-D
