Construction Update #35

March 10th and we are off and running.

Removing the shoring that supported the middle level floor and walls took two full days, and recycled thousands of screws.

Looking at the basement ceiling for the first time, the most amazing thing are the lines of exposed concrete. The wide lines are the primary beams. The zigzag lines are actually a continuation of the exterior walls above. The amazing part is the absence of supporting posts. Either my engineer is a genius, or . . .

The basement floor will get mucked out and then buffed. It will be our first opportunity to evaluate the coloring process.

The new crew seems to be doing great. The dead battery in the contractor’s van being the only hiccup so far.
