If you're happy with a projected -.620" deflection, 'sawright. How much would that be cut down by adding 33% more I-joists and placing them every 12"?

(I think I'd take 0.620" deflection myself.)

Back to epoxy in the remaining slab dowels, spray foam touch-up on holes/cracks/seams, set rebar grid, and pour.

I forgot the schrader valve air chuck, so I could not pressurize the system. That will be first job when we return.

Lookin' good! The weather is cooperating finally. For an emergency air chuck, most of the time you can just shove the quick disconnect end of the air hose over the schrader valve and it'll work.

If you ever do any Pex installations that use those copper drimp rings, I've got the crimping tool that will do 3/8" - 1".

What will be the source of hot water?

Good tapers don't sand (much)

I am amazed at good tape and bed guys. My seams can get pretty obvious. Must be poor quality material.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

One thing I have noticed about good tapers and bad they spend the same amount of time sanding.

I really don't have a problem with the screw holes and seams, but the corners give me fits, even using a corner tool. Luckily, the ceiling is done and now it's all walls.

A friend of a friend is in his late 40's and has white lung from sanding without a mask, and he's still drywalling.....

Brettski, when you going to start framing?

Totally undecided at this point. The room with the radiant floor heat is (kind of) planned to be a shop area, but who knows how that will play out over time. My only immediate concern was to install the Pex now to allow all options later on.

Brettski,
"install the Pex now to allow all options later on."

Great planning, might consider under grounding pipe to the main house site for electrical, commo and av later, yes I know you already have, sorry, I will shut up and sip my beer.

It's looking great Bski! Thanks for continously posting updates, it makes us all feel like part of the process (without the aching back and complaining wallet).

No big deal Rad, bean counters are use to being ignored, it goes with the territory.

I hope you have your board straightner tool! I've made sure to pick straight 2x4's and 2x6's and a day later they look like a dogs hind leg!

A couple years ago, we executed and documented a PB quality experiment on lumber selection, twist and camber potential, and secure bundle maintainance.
The results: There is a avg 25% rejection rate as a result of propellerization and camberizing. The best practice is to purchase stock that can be returned for credit and up'ing the shopping list by about 25%.

I never really put numbers to it, but now that I think about it, it sounds right. Luckily, I'm done buying lumber for a while, but I'll file it away for the next project. Lowes is the closest store, and the next time I'm in there I'll ask them about their return policy on lumber.
