DuffyGeos September 29, 2014 September 29, 2014 Jack- nothing wrong with the foundation walls coming up a couple feet above grade. Even if this is a building, you then have an option of spraying a hose inside and not wording about a wet sill plate, or having a week spot where water could come inside or get outside. Grading is also easier.

Even if this is a building, you then have an option of spraying a hose inside and not wording about a wet sill plate, or having a week spot where water could come inside or get outside. Grading is also easier. Agreed but looking at the 1st photo, the majority of the wall is way above 2'. Actually, looking further, it looks like the inside floor (or whatever it ends up being) is above the average grade of the site so the wall may be withholding the inside as much as the outside.

BowieReefer84 September 30, 2014 September 30, 2014 I want to provide a compliment, but I don't really understand what I am looking at.
YHSublime September 30, 2014 September 30, 2014 I want to provide a compliment, but I don't really understand what I am looking at. Nailed it.
DuffyGeos September 30, 2014 September 30, 2014 You are looking at a warehouse being constructed. What you see is the lumber for the walls, roof trusses, and plywood sheathing for the roof.
DuffyGeos September 30, 2014 September 30, 2014 Nailed it. Isaac is now throwing around words that deal with construction since his floor job.
davelin315 September 30, 2014 September 30, 2014 Nope, this is a fish tank. Ever since he lost his cowfish, Dan has been remorseful of the fact that he didn't have quite enough room. I heard a rumor that he's going to have a whole herd of them. They are also going to make the walls of the tank out of a new ultra-thin, ultra-strong transparent material. They found a new engineer, some guy named Scott Montgomery. He said he had a new formula for something that would be the equivalent of transparent aluminum. Heard they are using this in a new line of skimmers that they are going to name the Avast Enterprise line. Definitely made in the USSA.

davelin315 September 30, 2014 September 30, 2014 don't laugh - saw on a news feed today Shatner might be in the next movie.Don't laugh right back, he is actually a distant relative of mine. Thought of inviting goold old Cousin Willie to my wedding but my wife wouldn't allow it (relation is in her side of the family). Dan, when is this thing going to be finished? I hear it's better suited for a dry suit...
dandy7200 October 1, 2014 Author October 1, 2014 arrrgh! Nothin' be gettin' by this savvy crew! Well it will still hold 475,000 gallons but we are planning on filling it with a machine shop and inventory instead of water. The industrial building we have been at for the last 3 years has served it's purpose well but, it is time to move on to bigger and better things. We have been looking and planning a move of some sort for about a year now and it is getting close. We plan to be moved in by halloween. The new place will allow us to continue to grow and add some more mates to the ship and we are REALLY excited. Many of you here know that the shop (and me) is in the Winchester VA area and the shipping and inventory is in the Rockville, MD area (and Justin). The new place will allow us to centralize the operation, which will really help boost productivity and turn inventory faster.

DuffyGeos October 1, 2014 October 1, 2014 Are you on septic? Is that what is graded on the right or a parking lot? Making good progress.
dandy7200 October 1, 2014 Author October 1, 2014 Yes, we are on septic out here in the country Drain field to right, no heavy equipment.
ArtFully Acrylic (Adam B) October 2, 2014 October 2, 2014 Oh darn....I was just about to say that this would be the biggest and baddest TANK build thread EVER!! Oh well...at least it's still the biggest and baddest SHOP build thread EVER!! Look forward to seeing it progress!!
