Work has begun to construct the footonthesea workshop at its new, permanent location. The basement location includes 900 sq. ft. of concrete floor workspace in a dry, temperature stable environment. The space has adequate length and egress for a 30' long hull with a maximum height of 7'. The site also has paved access to outside areas (for sanding and dirty work). The basement is already wired with numerous grounded outlets and has 4 overhead florescent lighting units. Casement windows and portable fans will provide appropriate ventilation. The first step is to dispose of miscellaneous debris and to re-route the main drain from the home above. The drain currently bisects the usable space athwartships as seen in the photo below. Fortunately, there is enough drop between the down-drain and the exit-to-sewer-line drain to permit the 40 feet of additional lines needed to follow the perimeter walls and open up the work-floor. To compensate for the additional span, I will be adding a cleanout at each bend for a total of 4 cleanouts. The new line will tap directly onto the homes original, cast iron line.
