Need to pour concrete for the slab, 4" monolithic with 24"x24" rat walls on a 5'x35' and a 5'x20, then stand walls tie it in and remove old roof and install new trusses and dry in before snow flies.

cool, everything should go quick for you with it being grandfathered. as long as you dont mess with exsisting foundation, atleast untill its enclosed;)

Existing house is fine, but the addition falls into zba setbacks.
I told them kiss my ... I will hold back 8' then close it in after final.
They didn't seem really impressed with that.
$650 bones just to apply to the ZBA and that don't guaranty a variance.

Hey Randy,

Pete here, I stopped by weekend before last a day before your guys last race. I think I found out what that gal was using at that kickball game I was telling you about to dry off the dirt. I ended up working on the yard at my parents place all flippin day Sunday no joy there. (: I'm sure you guys had a blast with the weather being as nice as it was.
I can't remember the last time that I went swiming in our lake in Oct.:thumbsup:

http://www.sportsadvantage.com/product_info.php?product_id=685&sport=1

I emailed them to get a quote on the rapid dry.. Not sure why they just don't state the price, they do on everything else.:confused: I thought if you had a couple of spots that had water this might come in handy.. Obviously it wouldn't work if we had a rain storm, that leaves half the track under water.:)

Found out why they don't list the price online these bags weigh 50lbs each, $27.50 a bag shipped. Might have to look into picking it up locally.

Tipperjackson; Ron - ignore the e-mail I sent you about hobbytalk being reported as an attack page - I'm no longer being blocked out - so they must have addressed the issue. It took them 2 days to fix & I'm now able to log onto hobbytalk after 2 days, without the threat of someone steeling my credit card info and passwords or spiking me with a virus.
