What type of sealer do you have in mind for the composite metal deck surface? Vehicles bring in various corrosive deicing chemicals from the roads and water will easily penetrate through porous concrete topping to eventually rust out the metal deck below. Drainage and waterproofing is very important on garages.
The team added a neoprene sleeve around the pipes where they go through the concrete - see black at mid point of vertical pipes. There’s one horizontal pipe that needed to go through the concrete haunch at a bearing wall - in this case, the 2” diameter pipe goes through a 4” diameter pipe sleeve.
Good eye! The j-bolts were installed during the pour and centered on the wall, which is typical. The team realized that they needed to be offset in locations with the glass door so sawed them off and used epoxy anchors.
Are your J bolts not in the way of the door/window sill? The drawings show them on the interior/top portion of your sill plates, but they seem to be on the outside/bottom portion of the sill in the field. Nice detail
The j-bolts were cast into the wrong location. The team discover it when laying out the sill so they cut off the ones at the door and used epoxy anchors. The ones you can still see are at the regular wall.
I would not want to drive a car on to the concrete slab. Missing a tomen of rebar in the middle. I presume it even is a double car garage. Am I missing something?
Nice detail with the flush door sill!

I could hear that cold in your voice! I just started working outside for a bit today and I feel ya, gotta get acclimated
Yeah man. Under estimated the cold this morning 😂
Thank you for these videos! I love the information and detail you pack into them!
Great video and information. Thank you for sharing this video! Love watching this series!!
You're my dream builders!
What was the size of that suspended deck? Home is looking great and excellent detail on the assemblies.
Nick, nice touch showing the threshold detail drawing. Did you already talk about the seal around PVC piping against the concrete slab?

what do they call those caps for the flute ends at 2:25?
Maybe there is more info in the detail but aren’t the anchor bolts located differently in the drawing you put up?

If you have an exposed deck on the underside of it where would you place insulating foam in relation to that corrugated metal?
I would love to see how you water proof that.

No drain for the garage? I would have thought there was one to protect the shop below from snow/rain dripping from cars.
How much water do you think is going to drip from the cars? Lol
what the support wall look like underneath?
Hi, where can I buy that metal sheeting panels you have? I laterally looked everywhere and I can’t see where to buy them here in Midwest
What’s the ballpark cost of the sheet sheeting either per square yard or sheet?

I hope to get my house sold, and buy a bigger place to build a nice shop or two! Then I can get my video better and more consistent.
I'm not a smart man 😂, but was ICF construction a conversation when designing this house?
Icf definitely would have made this build simpler and likely more cost effective especially given metal beams are not cheap
Anybody catch the column that got painted that shouldn’t have?
