I google "dry well" looks like an interesting idea.  I wouldn't need a huge container to make one.  I might go that route.  We will have to see.   #22 JimWelsh Total Posts : 1426 Scores: 14 Reward points : 1486 Joined: 1/22/2010 Location: Angwin, CA, US Status: offline MBI: 1845 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:The "Breeding Barn Build" Tuesday, March 20, 2012 2:02 PM (permalink) 0 Mine is a cubic yard, and filled with crushed rock.  There is a buried pipe, perforated for the last half of the run, that goes from the sink in the greenhouse to the dry well.   #23 CableGuy Total Posts : 591 Scores: 7 Reward points : 731 Joined: 8/26/2010 Location: Saint Clair Shores, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 635 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:The "Breeding Barn Build" Tuesday, March 20, 2012 2:12 PM (permalink) 0 Mike,   They are very easy but labor intensive.

(I will get some paint on the outside trim when it is a little warmer)     You can find a pic of the old door further back in the thread. The next order of business will be to get all of the junk out of the barn.   #26 waldend Total Posts : 604 Scores: 10 Reward points : 1855 Joined: 10/5/2010 Location: Lafayette, IN, US Status: offline MBI: 310 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:The "Breeding Barn Build" Saturday, March 31, 2012 12:50 PM (permalink) 0 Nice work.

They are easily washable and will prevent the drywall from absorbing the moisture. I think you could run a very thin drywall under these just to have something to glue it to. http://www.homedepot.com/...-8-ft-white-53655.html   #31 GreshamH Total Posts : 757 Scores: 16 Reward points : 600 Joined: 4/27/2011 Location: SF Bay Area, CA Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:The "Breeding Barn Build" Saturday, April 7, 2012 5:48 PM (permalink) 0 Originally Posted by waldend You might consider putting in FRP (fiber reinforced plastic) panels on the wall.

Just thinking about mainly heat/ac and other critical non submerged uses.   #40 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon Change Page: < 123456789 > | Showing page 2 of 9, messages 21 to 40 of 167 - powered by ASPPlayground.NET Forum Trial Version
