Deck rack or tunnel?

We used a revolving oven at Snyders in the 70’s. Hand twisted.…….

Oh ! That brief discussion and smidgen of insight was for this little clapboard man-shed ?

Had I realized that, I'd have pulled out the old mil-specs and shop drawings for the LCAC (Landing Craft Air Cushion) apron shore power vaults, instead of the Harbor Freight Electrical Catalog
I am however just slightly intrigued why such a large garage door opening. Apparently wide enough to accommodate something much wider than a rotary wing aircraft, like a corporate Jet as one example, when I've yet to see anything resembling a runway or airport nearby ??

Love the building and certainly enjoying following along, thanks for sharing, very cool indeed sir.

I can’t stop laughing about the word “clapboard”. You might be older than me.

We’ve got two 480 volt auxiliary power sources.

Although not in floor vaults due to your sage advice about fuel vapor codes and electricity. Well done and you saved me a bunch.

 

[RaceTec]

Thanks for sharing such a bitchen build!!! I have learned a bunch!

Nice progress, now I understand the vertical openings- stairwell, dig the bike rack, proximity to the airport would have been a giveaway, nice play keeping that close to the vest! Carry on. Expected completion date?

So it's not going to be a industrial Pretzel Factory?

Hoping for August but might not make it.

The 385 yard pour for the floor got pushed out a week for lack of that large of a batch unless we wanted to break it up which we didn’t as it is polished. We have another 15,000 feet of 10 inch to pour outside after that, which is tough to get.

Although everything has been ordered long ago, some items are slipping on timing. For example the SES is a year lead time, the UST for storm water is supposed to be here July 15 and was 6 months. Everything has a super long lead time and everyone is super swamped. So I’m now hoping for September?

Yeah, lead times can be brutal, we had a "forward planning dept" that dealt soley in that to try and prevent the "surprises" they still happen.

We quite often do our larger floors at night, get the whole batch plant to yourself, no traffic, no heat. 15,000 ft at 10" would get a plant to open at night up here. I am sure nothing your guy hasnt already considered.

Good luck,!

Did you find the spot in the corner where I carved my initials Wednesday evening?

LOL. You need a better pump truck.

No, which corner? I did carve mine.

Are you going to fix my exterior walls?

If your coming next Thursday to pour the decks I’ll bring the scotch.

 

[DRYHEAT]

I guess I missed what was happening with the exterior walls I haven’t been keeping up. Hopefully nothing too serious.

Just a few business aviation assets that get bought/sold/reconfigured over the course of a year. Primarily rotorcraft from LE.

They come and they go.

The fire sprinkler guy better get his pipe in the air or they are going to get buried. Looks like the steel studs have been delivered.

Soooo maybe something MD, possibly a 520N, or a 500E?

We are still trying to work through using tyco window sprinklers as an alternative to fire glazing. Fire glazing is a year backlogged despite the alleged oncoming economic depression.

If you have any special documentation or tricks of the trade on how to get that alternative accepted through the process I am all ears.

MD products have become ridiculously expensive with the bankruptcy of MD. Although we have a ton of spares and own several now, Airbus has strangely become a more economical option for operators. Who would have ever thought Airbus would be more economical?

As a non owner but obsessive enthusiast, I would never have thought that second part. If we’re talking Leo and airbus, definitely has to be AS350 or like models.

First thing I notice is the lap on all the rebar is along the same line. Call it a gridline for instance. How does that hold up structurally? I was taught to offset the laps from each other as its a weak point when they are all placed in line with each other.

A good E model is 1.5 now. A good F is over 2.

A good B2 is a million and a good B3 is 1.3. A B3E is expensive. Both a B2 and a B3 will outperform a D, E or F all day long and are now cheaper to run.

MD’s are slowly becoming rich guys toys, not work assets.

There are still some high time machines out there working reasonably, but we are talking 10 to 20 thousand hour stuff.

It’s hard to make a 500 pencil anymore given an R44 can do 75% of the jobs a 500 used to.

Just a glorified accountant who can pull a collective occasionally.

@DRYHEAT did the rebar.

Usually the architect needs to get the window sprinklers approved. I have in the past used a water curtain / deluge system to flood the glass with Water. Install the heads 6’ on center on both sides of the glass. The Tyco heads are expensive.

You should post more about work…..I’d read it ha!

Have you priced or tried to source fire glazing since 2019?

The heads are relatively cheap.

Architect has been on it. The solution you and I are talking about is not codified in IBC or UBC but is an alternative that must be approved by the appropriate authority as an alternative construction method.

Patience is a virtue when building in this environment with demand far in excess of supply.

Small kitchen window on one of my multi-family projects was $3,700 for 45min rated.

Small kitchen window on one of my multi-family projects was $3,700 for 45min rated.

Two hour rated 20 linear feet by 10 feet tall glass walls on both first and second story of office to hangar.

Plus another 80 square feet of windows.

Architects love glass.



Rest of windows from hangar to outside do not need to be fire rated so just regular glazing.

Nice progress, sorry about the glass deal, thats gonna hurt your timeline and your wallet.

I do think a glass wall from office to hanger is BALLER stuff. Love it!

I see walls but no MEP trades at the deck level. I'm sure they coordinated with the new steel studs.

I have a project where the GC is doing the same thing with the studs. Giving us 2 days to rough in our pipes.

They are all there at the same time both upstairs and downstairs. You can see electrical boxes in the walls and in the floors upstairs. The two guys in picture 2 are the plumbers, and the sprinkler guy is like get that shit done before I show up as I don't want anyone screwing up my stuff. All his pipe is on a giant wood pallet on the lot.

I just pay the bills. Let's see how it goes.

We engineer and pre-fab / weld all our pipes in our shop before we send it to the jobsite. If it fits without having to pull out our pipe machine for too many changes due to other trades its a good thing. Some companies prefer to cut in the field.

Time to bury a ten foot tall by 100 foot long UST.
