We Have To ABANDON Our Original Plan | E1

[@makingtechsense126]

Good job! Good decision making. I've seen so many people jump feet first into an off-grid project in Northern Idaho, biting off way more than they can chew, and getting completely wiped out by snow and cold as winter approaches. I hope you are able to get everything finished in time for the cold.

[@duckninja9349]

I've only built Mountain Biking Trails, so don't know crap about building roads, but was thinking you may want to put in some run-off mitigation on your road so a major storm doesn't wash/rut your road, specifically: Run off ditch on the high-side of the roads to push water off trail before switch backs (to include armoring the low side of the ditches to prevent eroding into the road); rolling dips on long or steep slopes to prevent rutting (and in long ditches), and maybe some drainage piping where you have to provide a path for water to get under the road versus wash out all your gravel. There are obvious things to do, but really need some rainstorms to figure it out. Just concerned of you losing all that aggregate w/ a big storm.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Thanks for looking out for us! There is some significant drainage work that needs to be done before winter arrives. Hopefully we have time to get to it!

[@locness1965]

I know this is like shutting the gate after the cow gets out, BUT .The gravel they are using is like quicksand. Its too small to support anything.!! It should be the size of your fist or larger for a good foundation. The pretty little gravel looks nice but thats all !!

Think about building the road to deal with water and runoff to make it last. Adding some broad based dips or waterbars along with some turnouts will go a long way in helping keep the road in good shape as you use it minimizing erosion and the amount of work to maintain it.

Dividing the build into segments is still a win. Get what you can into the first half of the build, then you have plenty of time to design everything else you want into the second build. I liked the big wheel barrel being used to keep the dirt off the new stone, smart. We road motorcycles into Canada years ago and the flies and other bugs almost carried us away, lol. But the fishing was AWESOME! Just about every cast had a big fish on it. Anyway, adapt, stay safe and keep plugging along and don`t forget to take one full day off every week, or you`ll burn out and start making mistakes. Glad you can get some help. Take care

Put come 4" conduit and drains under the driveway now. Once it's packed in it will be much harder. At some point you will want them.

[@greggoldman893]

You’re knocking it out. If I can give a word or two from my experience….I have an off-grid cabin that I started 20 years ago (still a WIP….another story). Add insulation under your slab and possibly loops of pex. Super insulate the building...R60. Mine is 24 x 36 x 14 and heat it with a propane water heater. I burn 120 gallons over 90 days of heating season at 8000 feet at 60 ish. Wood stove makes up the rest, and doesn’t need a lot of wood or tending to keep it toasty.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

I hadn't thought of using waste heat off a water heater. Good idea!

[@greggoldman893]

Not waste heat, a small circulator pump (alpha 3, 30 watts) runs 50/50 though imbedded loops. Mingling DHW is overly complicated. You can run a tankless for other uses. One day I’ll add my solar collectors to the mix to boost the BTU’s. Very simple and efficient energy.

The gravel on the driveway would hold the underlying dirt in place better if non woven fabric had been used. Now, the rain will likely cause the gravel to dissipate into the mud if driven on when wet, because no large diameter base was applied.

Welcome to the INW neighbor! One regret for my shop/pole barn is not putting the drainage in place so i can do the washdowns inside when weather dictates.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

That would be a very nice feature to have!

[@thoriated]

I bought a garage/shop with a central drain in the floor and I hate it. The floor slopes in all directions to the drain, so all the equipment and benches need to be shimmed to sit level. Any water that gets under the door, or spring snow melt on the edge of the slab that is below grade, and seeps under the wall, runs across the whole garage to the drain. It's not heated so the drain freezes up and I have a floor covered with ice. I'd rather have a slight, flat slope at the door, and the whole slab well above grade to resist any water intrusion. Idaho will have spring melt to deal with as well, which might not have been a familiar issue in California. The snow is melting, but the ground is frozen solid, so water can't soak in. There will be water running down the slope to the shop and road, then refreeze at night. You'll want water control landscaping/ditching substantial enough that it won't freeze up and let water in the shop or erode/ice over the road.

Nice that you had some skilled help, who also have a nice truck (Ford Super-Duty 👍). So is the area where you guys are prone to heavy rain in the fall, or heavy snow during the winter? I know there can be a lot of variability from area to area in the Western Cordillera, from really wet to desert areas. Just curious as to your site and driveway drainage plans. I'm guessing you'd like to avoid gravelling the entire driveway, at least for now? Looking forward to the next episode. Keep up the good work. And try to keep Riley from braining himself any more than necessary.

Nice to have friends that know how to do stuff. No doubt you guys would have done it on your own but this made it go a little faster. 30 x 40 is still a good size shop. Are your ceilings gonna be tall enough to drive the camper in?

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Yes! We are doing 18' eaves to allow for an upstairs apartment in half, so the other half will be plenty tall for the camper!

@@AmbitionStrikes I see some sort of man lift in your future!

Smart adjustment on your building plan, 30'x40' will be plenty big to park all your big toys this winter. Now is there enough fire wood on your land to heat that big box in December?!! 😄🤙💪💪 Lake Pend Oreille is looking beautiful!

Nice work all you guys! And Courtney didn't get to operate the skid steer? I'm shocked.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Honestly I took one look at how filthy and beat up the boys were and said "maybe next time..." 😉
