2 days ago I was able to get all the lights connected and working the way they should. Running those extra 2 wires was moot. I won't be doing that again. Seems so weird coming in and hitting a switch and the lights come on.. The dimming function works as it should too. Have just a few more circuits to wire on this end.. Then can move onto the siding and installation of the sub panel for 1ph 120/240V.

It's been some time..
I've been busy with horses and construction and adding new machines.. Of which I added a Cincinnati Monoset tool grinder. More on that later. I am getting ready to pour the front pad.. My question is do I tie the existing building with epoxied rebar or skip the tie in. I would not be concerned if I was heating the space, but it won't be heated for a few years. So I'm sure will get some freezing going on.

PS: always good to hear from you and your progress with the school. So do you and ORF have an agreement over the old iron on the East Coast? You get the northern pickings and he gets the southern pickings?

Yup, and the equipment she buys appears to have been stored INSIDE...

It does freeze here, and this has been in service since 2009.

Seems it's about 50/50 over varied terrain. in Freeze climates most say not to tie in. LOL with ORF on old iron.. It might just be so.. I might have gotten lucky with the Monoset.. It was in a CNC shop that was ran by 1 guy.. The guy bought it from an automobile parts plant about 5 years ago.. The guy used it for a few years but was so busy it became easier to buy new then to resharpen used. for the 1750 delivered it was a good deal. Quote:

My concrete guy said with how tight the space is and on the cold side of the building it might freeze/lift as much as 3" .. I've seen the dirt there even with the top of the slab in winter which is about 2.5" rise in dirt. I think I'll let it float.. It will be retained by all the front shed dormer footings and the wall in the back.. Id really like to heat it, but not in the cards currently.. LIke all this building stuff I won't really be happy, but good enough, is good enough.

So, thoughts on the freezing/ lifting.
Why will the ground lift and pull/ push things when frozen. Isn’t it the water/ moisture that will expand when frozen in the dirt? So if the Ground under the pad is dry, it should not rise when frozen? So what would happen if you excavated the dirt and put in 12” of pea stone/ drain stone before pouring the floor. Water should drain right thru this layer, and even if it got down into the dirt under and froze, there might be enough movement in the stone to keep the pad from lifting. How does this theory sound. But it looks like you are ready to pour the approach, so probably a bit late. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First things first, I am not qualified. After all, what freezes in AZ?
It doesn't look lite the pad is going any where with the piers already in place. Some expansion joints, everywhere there might be an issue... I can see the logic of stone under the pad to provide drainage. How deep should the stone be? Six (6) feet to frost line? Brings up another thought. In AZ, we use a tool, a tamper, to bring up the cream and push down the gravel after screeding the wet concrete. From what I've read, this will cause the surface to spall in a cold climate and is only used in warmer climates. Greywind needs to chime in, IIRC he has extensive knowledge of concrete in cold climates. Haven't heard from DDA52 for awhile now.

I’d put expansion joint material around the piers, and at the existing slab and let it float. Chances are it will lift in winter, but will drop down again in spring.
Putting any clear material under a pad like this may or may not work. It may allow water to drain through, however if the surrounding material is heavy clay, it may act as an area for the water to pool and then freeze. It all depends what the ‘native’ material is.
