Now that the GARN is on the pad the framing can begin. The Shed portion is framed with 2x4s on 16" centers. Most likely we will fill the bays with R-13 batts to help minimize the standby losses. We will wait to side the building until the length of the GARN in insulated.
We can now finish our trench between the shed and the house. The length of the trench is about 90 feet. We trenched down 3 feet to put the supply and return lines below the frost
line.The trench will also have the electric for the shed service, and a conduit for data and control lines.
At one point we did only go down about 2'6" where the trench crossed the cable and electric service. I will add 2" of blue board insulation at that point to ensure we are well insulated from freezing.
The next day the weather held up, and we were able to get the roof on the shed side of the building.
