Construction Update #55

Flooring Solutions from Seattle provided a color palette by actually applying dyes to the floor. Everybody got to pick room colors.

Those pads might not look like much, but they are embedded with diamonds for cutting the concrete. Debbie says I never buy her diamonds. Ha!

Katie just wants to get moved in so she can sit by her creek with her dog.

Because of the wide openings for the Nana walls, and the 14’ high ceilings, the rebar schedule calls for an intricate web of #5 bar to make columns.

Wall growth is waiting now on the electrician to run conduit for outlets.

Construction Update #54

With respect to the Great Communicator (Mr. Gorbachev, tear these walls down), I was glad to finally say, Mr. Strode, build those walls up! These are the first walls since resuming work four months ago. Whew!

We tore away the shoring under the top deck. The cantilevered concrete deck with massive front beam is visually intimidating. And very cool.

Debbie went front door shopping. Seems everybody makes the same generic styles. We are looking for something unique, but complimentary to the theme of the house. Hmmmm.

The three day weekend took its toll. Terry no-showed. The floor grinder guys late showed, and then fiddled with the electrics until very late in the day. Eric was expected but did not appear. I guess the 4th burnt out more then just the fireworks.

Progress nonetheless.
