PNG Indoor 1:20.3 Layout
Step 1 is to get the foundation built. Here in
Colorado, an engineered foundation must be build for any structure over 750
sq ft. The over all size of the building is 25' by 60'. Foundations have to
be below the 30" frost line hence the excavation.
The entrance will be the bay window protrusion on the South wall (left
side). The pit just inside the entrance is for steps down and up to go under
the layout. The choices are to have to layout very high and walk under it,
crawl on your hands and knees under it or as I have done, provide a pit with
steps to pass under it.
The dirt is back in the hole and ready for the slab to be poured. You can
also see the shop is the background, ready for the color coat on the stucco
to match the existing stucco.
The slab was poured right before a 2 day period of freezing rain. It got
concrete blankets so wasn't much to picture. The day after the storm, the
framers showed up and at the end of the first day, it looked like this.
Looking in the bay entrance at the steps down and up
The second day the framing crew finished the outside and of course that
weekend a bit more snow. Here's a look at our "compound".
Those power poles are actually 600' behind us. That power easement keeps any
future development 350' beyond our property line.
Another view of the Layout building.
The roof is going on at this date as are the soffits under all the eves and
porch. What remains is the concrete porch, stucco to match the house and
shop and painting of fascia boards, soffits and the 6 porch support post.
At this point, the roof is finished and the scratch coat of stucco is on.
What remains is the color coat of stucco and all the concrete deck and walk
ways.
Here, the exterior of the building is finished. The end seen in this picture
is the garden section. The roll up door is to get the ride around mower in
and out. It will be spring before I complete the electrical, insulation,
sheet rock and painting.
So for now, it's done enough to concentrate on other projects.
