Poolside Brewpub

[ChocolateMaltyBalls]

Good progress, it doesn't look like you made footings, I take it you're a fill around the post with concrete kinda guy?

 

[PlexVector]

A kick ass pool and free beer?!!!

Honey! Drop the kids off at your mother's! We're going to Maryland!!!

Let me call my boss real quick so I can tell him to go to hell...

Okay, count me in too. ROAD TRIP! :rockin:


The build is look'n good!

Footings are dug and filled about 4"-8" shy from the top with concrete then the post sets on top with the fill tamped back in around the Post.

 

[BarleyNRocks]

The footings are roughly 16" around by 30"deep with 160lbs of concrete in each.

I'm no engineer but that doesn't sound any worse than a footing with a flimsy galvanized bracket holding all the weight. Yet building inspectors don't always see it that way...

But I'm derailing, good luck with your build. One day I'll start on my own brew shed.

The footings are for dispersing and holding the weight load. The concern I think your are alluding to is lateral movement or racking of the post. Most codes now a days require bracing from post to beam and joist at a 45° angle. And this is only when the post is a certain height.

Burying the post is becoming less a habit due to inferior quality of pressure treated wood (rots quicker due to less chemicals being used) and the metal bracket solves this by getting the post up and off of the ground.

The post are all just under 4' some as short as 3' and carriage bolted to a double beam. the post is buried 4"-8" more for aesthetics I don't like seeing the clip or a big ring of concrete. As far as new code lets just say I have good neighbors.

 

[BarleyNRocks]

here is my local code. I'm good to go.

4. POSTS: -Post can be set directly on the footing with tamped back-fill, enclosed in concrete below grade, or on top of
a pier at grade with an approved post anchor.
-Posts should be a minimum 4x4 lumber size. Recommend using 6x6 lumber size for posts over 8’-0” tall.
-For posts over 10’-0” tall cross bracing is recommended.

Nice! Your neighboring Montgomery county is more strict - I had to have cross bracing on my freestanding deck

Today we water sealed top and bottom of the flooring boards (3/4 tongue & grove) and got it all nailed down. We also got a bunch of material moved out back. Saturday is BBQ Beer and Bluegrass at one of the local brewery so no work will be done then but I am rallying the troops for a shed wall raising Sunday!

To get the full picture, I need to know where I should go to see it in person.

Now I want a pool. bad.

Me too!

Great project. When it's done, I have a feeling you'll have a whole bunch of new friends!

I love the idea and the plans look perfect.

 

[BarleyNRocks]

Today was a big day! The walls went up and my wife got the shock of the full size of this build. The pictures do it no justice this thing is huge! This week will consist of truss building and I hope to have this thing under roof by next weekend.

If it weren't for the fact that in the summer time my pool temps average around 80 that may not be a bad idea.

I have a friend that runs pool water through his chiller when brewing. It may not get it down to pitching temps, but it gets it into the 90's without using any water. Than it's just a matter of switching to ice water.

you people make me sick.

Well that's a little aggressive.

My neighbor used to do that as well. Free heating for your pool too!

I didn't think about that. It would be a good way to kickstart the pool early in the season.

 

[motobrewer]

....in a good way...

I figured as much

subbed.

The Brewpub roof is coming together. You can see the bar overhang forming so you can enjoy a cold Homebrew out of the weather!

Thank You Sir! this thing is really starting to kick my ass. between this, my 3 month old, the yard work that is stacking up and the rhizomes setting in my fridge that need to be planted. I might be able to take a moment to breathe sometime in June.

Yeah man, My wife rocks! She knows a Farm brewery is my ultimate goal and she is behind me all the way. I was a bit shocked myself when she gave me the green light on the project so I took it and ran full steam. As long as its done by memorial day weekend and doesn't interrupt family time I'm good to go. :rockin:

 

[Lbm]

Wow!

Just curious, is there a door or do you just crawl through the window/bar?

I'm assuming he will give it a nice slick veneer and hop across the countertop through the window like a Luke Duke hood slide.

I was waiting to decide on the door. the shed previously had a garage door where the bar is. my buddy owns a window and door co. so I'm going to swing by and grab a sliding door form him to install on the side closest to the house. I'm taking two panels out of the original garage door So that it will close onto the bar top once its installed.

 

[BarleyNRocks]

We got the roof on today! Still lots of trim work left outside then it's time to start on the inside.
