The new "Crashfab"

Sandtrap1986 · Jan 20, 2015

Road fabric/ dryer felt is what I always called it ..... Wouldn't do it without it

Anybody know if ACF west sells to the public?

Jokenring · Jan 21, 2015

I think they might, but I ended up at Valley Supply in Maltby for the stuff I bought. I just bought some a week ago. If I would have known you needed some we could have thrown down on a roll. :mad: A roll is 432 feet long, 12.5 feet wide.

I know it is cheaper if you buy the whole roll, rather than having it cut.

Well???

Once I get the entrance issue resolved aka mud pit. Thats the last hurdle..

Gibby1 · Jan 31, 2015

In a couple of weeks the Willy's will be ready. Perhaps finally get this project out of your hair???

Mike your new setup is damned nice. Good job Sir!

I plan to retire in a similar setup, except where your office is will be my living space. Wife wants to retire in an apartment overlooking the sound. Not my cup of tea so we may have to time share in our old age lol.

Your shop is a really nice and reasonable setup.

crash2 · Apr 8, 2015

Thanks Jacob--the hard work and planning certainly payed off..

Its funny about 10 years ago we were looking into plans of doing a shop with an apartment over top but never went too far with it..

lethe · Apr 8, 2015

A shop with living quarters over the top would be my dream home!:redneck:

Did you ever find your road fabric? I have multiple pieces of rolls at our yard in Snohomish. PM me if you need it.

crash2 · Apr 10, 2015

I had to put it all on the back burner but looking at getting back into it here very soon--wanna get the base done before the birthday bash weekend.

So with having it dirt thru the winter I was able to see what the rain did and how.

So I found over by the outhouse water runs off the hill and collects badly after a hard rain and there is a big hump in the center that forces water towards the shop so one more reworking of the area was needed and some sort of drain system is needed.

crash2 · May 10, 2015

Here is the start of the drainage. I originally planned on just doing this ditch for the water to collect but after some thought and the fact I still have drainage to do in front of the other shop and the downspout off the new shop I revised my plan.

crash2 · May 10, 2015

So part A.

Luckily I took pics and was able to easily found where the end of the drain pipe is that I did last year. Ditch dug from my new shop downspout to the drain.

Part B will be a little tougher..

Lol--no **** huh...

Ya really happy with how its turning out.

crash2 · Jul 24, 2015

Little update. Got the cross ditch dug that connects the far getter drain to the rest of the system.

crash2 · Jul 24, 2015

The drainage pipe is all layed and the shop front gutter tied into the system.

crash2 · Jul 24, 2015

This week finally got some material delivered---3 truck loads (32 yards) of 1 1/4" minus.

crash2 · Jul 24, 2015

It took a couple days and I wish I was better at grading a level surface--but it is pretty close.

Drainage I used 1" clean chip and 1-2 man rock to protect the gutter drain since the material is about 1-2" below the rock surface.

But pretty stroked that its really looking like something now and no more dirt.:awesomework:
