Comment: The soil we excavated out of the slab area is worked back to fill in behind the landscape timbers. We dress and slope it so rain water will run down to the outside of the timbers (but not over them) and drain away in either direction.
8-4-07 015small * The forms popped right off. The slab turned out great. The rain ledge (across the closest edge) even looks pretty good for an amateur. We put the shovel back to work to widen the walkway area around the slab. * 640 x 480 * (71KB)

8-11-07 005small * Since we are going to be spending time to create a nice rock walkway around the slab, we don't want to have to mess it up later when it's time to bring in the power. A trench is cut and PVC conduit is laid in so the far ends will be beyond the walkway. They are capped and buried as a good idea for sometime in the future. Another PVC leader is buried at the other corner of the walkway area for the Propane gas line. * 640 x 480 * (52KB)

8-11-07 028small * I pre-cut and pre-drilled the 6 x 6 treated timbers in the garage at home. They are labeled and loaded onto the trailer for the trip to the jobsite. The timbers are staked together with timber spikes and then drilled for rebar that is pounded through them and directly into the soil. * 480 x 640 * (68KB)

8-18-07 002small * After the landscape timbers are tied together and staked in as one sturdy unit, we shift to the grade they enclose. We want to allow any water to easily escape the 3 foot wide walkway. The entire walkway is pretty level as it sets, so we set up the laser level and carefully cut a shallow trench right in the center of the walkway. The trench is the the width of a shovel and gently slopes to either side from the center of the back wall, then continues to slope to the front at both sides. Landscape fabric is laid in and 4

8-18-07 055small * This is a pretty good view of the grade that we are working with. The entire landscape slopes down from right/frame to left/frame. This makes sense since it is heading to the pond off to the left about another 100 feet. The trenches we cut into the center of the walkway to house the perforated drainpipe are pretty low at the exit end. It works good, though, because the are between the pipes that is dirt in the photo is at the overhead door and will be completely filled in with river rock. The entire drainage system will be covered with rock. * 640 x 480 * (76KB)

9-2-07 008small * Let the framing begin! All the framing members have been cut to length in the garage at home. Like the landscape timbers, they were all labeled and loaded onto the trailer. Of course there was a couple of

9-5-07 012small * The roof framing is pre-fab trusses, 6/12 slope. The fascia is 2 x 4. The window is installed with a pc of rubber water barrier that will be trimmed to correct length when the vinyl siding is installed. It's purpose is to direct rain that is driven past the vinyl siding and runs down along the tyvek covering. The rubber sheet will be cut to overlap the top of thevinyl siding pc that runs just below it, channeling the infiltrating water thru the weep holes in the siding and back to the outside surface. * 640 x 480 * (79KB)
