Yup, at the ranch.

It's actually a fuel station. :blink:

Tanks go on the right side, over the containment.

I decided to build block walls for tank stands. Way cheaper than custom fab metal, and I didn't want build PT frames.

So block it was.

Containment will hold 125% of total tank volume.

Covered drive-in area. [emoji106]

Old logger buddy of mine sold me a few tanks for little more than a song.

We'll have Super and Red Diesel in there for starters. [emoji106]


Still gotta build one for the outdoor kitchen.
About to do a kitchen too, but out of steel. Not as nice as cedar but good enough for Spicewood lol

Nice fueling station. Must have a hell of an operation to need that :thumbsup:

A simple complex project. After the jigs get made it's simple. A company that sells humidor electronics wanted some bases to put their equipment on. Was told to make 24 of them in cherry.

Jig for the hanging holes.

Holes routed in

Jig for the holes for equipment mounting
Image


Larger holes are for the wires that go from the electronics to the sensor
Image


And the slot for the wire to travel in that gets put in on the router table with stop blocks.

They'll get a clear coat.
 
23 of them finished, clearcoat.

Ended up wrapping the roof with underlayment even though we used zip. First time zipping the roof, we')) go back to cdx probably. I can't get past the idea of a roof penetration being protected by tape alone

Nice view from the master.

Boat dock is coming along slow but very well done. Brick chit house

We tore off some siding from the first house we used Zip on back in 2012. Just used it on the walls, but we ice guarded the whole wall before putting the siding back on. GC says he will never use the stuff again. So glad we never used it on a roof.
 
Nice pad, John. :thumbsup:

That a concrete floor in the master?

Are you saying the zip sheathing was rotted??
 
Pics....please.

I do have a few pics, but it is one of those jobs where I can't share them. Wasn't so much the zip wall was damaged, but without a proper flashing plane, you are 100 percent relying on the tape to hold forever. Typically, the Tyvek can be wrapped over the top tape on the windows, but with zip there is no tuck. This particular wall had a giant round window, and those can be troublesome even with Tyvek.

I do wonder how the tape will hold up after years of baking under siding.

Id be double screwed with closed cell, never know it was an issue until the shearing rots away
