... no battery yet. Battery technology is really heating up. And prices coming down.
It's like buying a computer, isn't it? "If I wait another year, I can get something 10% better for 10% less money."

Congratulations, looks like it's going to be great.

Your equipment sounds good, very nice choice with the Bosch . They work very well with very little problems.
That is going to be one sweet set up .. I like the heated floor for the FJ's , nice touch.  good2

Hey Dan, do you plan on a vehicle lift? Not a motorcycle stand, but a vehicle lift.
The reason I asked is those lift frames put a point load, or concentrated load, on your floor slab, something you should be careful with on a 4" floor with radiant tubing running through it.

Yes I do plan on a 2 post lift eventually. You can get a 9000lb for $1500. I will measure and leave opening in the PEX for It. The manufacturer says 4" is all you need but I was thinking of putting 1" foam under the area of the lift instead of the 2" and then it will have at least 5"

Well, they came and put the gravel inside the foundation. Before I put the 2" insulation on the inside of your foundation. Was going to put 2' inside the foundation. Between it and the slab. I spent a day digging the gravel away from the foundation. Only dug down a foot. Wow am I old. Put a 45 deg angle on the top of the foam. So the concrete would cover the foam.

Plumbing for inslab Installed. 3 floor drains in the bays by 3 garage doors. Plumbing for the bathroom. Toilet, urinal, utility sink right outside the door, and floor drain. Going to tile the whole thing and put in a shower head. Also floor drain in the mechanical room on the north side by the stairs.

Next I installed 8 guage rebar mesh to zip tie the 7/8" PEX for the inslab heat. Along with the 3 inslab manifolds for the 3 zones. Then today they came and poured the slab.

Here is a pic of the first wheel barrow of concrete

The wheel barrow is symbolic right? That looks like a lot of slab to fill.

The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

No they filled all but the last 10'-12' of each slab with wheel barrows. It's only 2268 square feet. It only took them from 9am to just shy of 11am. 3 1/2 truck loads. The 2 finnishers were there from 7am_ 6pm

Coming along Dan, remember you have the accumulated injuries comparable to a pro football player, so don't be too hard on yourself.
Do you think you can have the exterior walls and roof on before the really nasty weather sets in?

Cheers

More than most. Oh yeah here's what happens when you are standing on the top rail of the bed of your 4x4 pickup. Trying to strap down 50"tall bundle of 2"x 4'x8' styrofoam. And loose your balance.
