JJK Yea it gets braced with vertical braces at specified spacing, I can't remember the spacing. And then horizontally where the contractor determines necessary. A concrete vibrator is used to facilitate the concrete placement. And yes there are sometimes "blowouts". DUH.... the braces are shown in some of the pictures. They double as scaffolding.

CC and Rs dictate that it looks just like the house, so fiber cement siding and concrete roof tile. And since I dug into the slope(for clearance behind the garage) a retaining wall is part of the deal too. I'm going to have my stone mason build the natural stone wall to the left right up to the shed wall. And on the right side I will do the same with the man-made block. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 @babadonoThat looks like a great base and footer for a shed, are there earthquake codes you have to comply to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK, I'm trying to do this under the radar. Was told anything 10' x 12' or less does not need permit. Once its done I don't want problems with it other than critters trying to call it home 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJkizak Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Those tensioning systems were used in one of the buildings I worked in with 50 foot long length concrete beams with cables inside them. When someone ran on the roof it started to pulsate looking for a resonant frequency. Scared the crap out of us. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KROCK Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I've built some of NYC tunnels & highways in the past10 years, & I would have used Re-bar if I was parking a 5-ton truck in that structure. Wire should of been used, unless he had it laying around. Just my $.02😁. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
