Finished up the exhaust and air supply today
Image


Image


Put the termination on the exterior of the building. It has the intake on the bottom and it's screened to prevent bugs or birds from getting it. The exhaust has the necessary accelerator built into the opening.

And hooked up condensation trap but still don't know
where it's going to drain to right now except for a pan.
Image


Used the foil tape to seal the main trunk to the furnace so that trunk is sealed now. Well except for the 2x4 hole at the end of the line that will be closed up after I put the registers into the ducting.

I spun up all the black pipe as much as possible without breaking into the gas line. Now I'm kinda stuck because I can't get the 4x8 sheets of polyiso board I need to finish up the in floor ducting. Apparently a really really bad mistake on my part in not getting enough when it actually existed.

That's newer codes. Mass has it, CT doesn't yet.

Apparently what I bought is solid core.

Well it's a moot point because it is solid core. Thanks for bringing it up to make me worry. :D

Pretty much solid core won't state it on the pipe but foam core will. Plus looking at it you can tell by cutting it (with a chopsaw). Looks solid throughout and not layered or foamed. Plus shiny outside and heavy. All indications of solid.

Plus solid core will have a PSI rating on it. 280PSI for the 2" PVC I bought. Cellular core won't have a PSI rating on it.

Cell core is super lightweight, always labeled and it’s easy to see the three layers on the ends. A lot of HVAC guys use cell core even though they’re not supposed too. I think you’re good.

The 3/4" PVC I got has a 430 PSI rating, impressive.

Right now I'm fabricating the bartop components into a whole unit. Every cut I make scares me. Because if I screw up it's a good chunk of change and time to make it right.


The return is about 4" too long right now. Going to be adjusted in the field because it terminates into a wall and I'll have to scribe it most likely.

Image


This side has the lifting bartop gate so that's what the 3/4" overlap is about. I'll cut the length of the bar rail in the field in case something weird goes on and I have to make adjustments.
Image


The gate is long right now and will have to be cut in the field after everything gets aligned. Should be a real bunch O fun.

Worked on the bar gate til the end of the day. 1st thing I did was run a dovetail dado that stopped before one edge. Then I made a pc with a dovetail running along the length of the board. Took a few tries to size it so it was tight enough to hold but loose enough to still slide.
Image


Then I glued an edge on the working side of the bar to double the thickness of the top to 1 1/2". Then I put some biscuit slots on the inside edge of the sliding dovetail board and the edge thickening board and the mates to a pc of plywood.
Image


Image



On the drinking side of the bar the bar rail will get screwed in place and now the plywood is trapped but the solid wood is still able to deal with humidity changes and expand and contract.

The main purpose of the sliding dovetail is to keep the open end flat and true while allowing the board to move with the seasonal changes.

Went up to the man cave to be and started fitting the bar. Didn't get but one pic and it was early on. Got a good deal done. Got the lower nook cabinet scribed into place, got the bar scribed in place, got the sink cabinet scribed in place. The bar back wall was screwed together to form an L, scribed to the floor and put into place. Got the pedestal scribed to the floor but not the wall. The sub top had a corner notch cut out and scribed to the wall. The bartop was done next, same thing - notched and scribed to the wall corner. Then the bar rail was cut to size and scribed to the wall.

The bar sub top, top and rail were all raw and have to be brought back to the shop to have the gloss finish put on them.

I took measurements for the remaining wainscoting.

Image


I didn't really get anything done with flip bar top, didn't even bring the parts with us. That should be a real PITA to get all balanced out perfectly aligned.
