It seems like the past couple of months have not been very exciting on house news since Glenn has been working on the plumbing and electric -I'm not sure how many trips he has made to town to get plumbing supplies but guess that's part of it!! He has been diligently working at the house but it's hard to see the progress sometimes!
Today the crew poured concrete in part of the lower level!! What a job to get ready for that - leveling the dirt and taking out dirt and putting in dirt and then packing it down!! And then measuring and deciding one place needs more, another needs less!! But it was finally ready and I enjoyed watching them work!!
What a hard, messy job it is to lay concrete!!
The finished product - or so I thought!! It's 8:00pm and they're still up there working - using a trowel now on the wet concrete and getting the other 2 sides prepped and ready for concrete tomorrow, as long as it doesn't snow too much tonight or get too cold!!
Also on the docket for today was filling the deep holes (for the deck) full of concrete! This deck will be elevated and the plastic on the left side of the picture is where the french doors will be that will lead to the deck!! Once the concrete is all done and dried, the contractor can return with his crew to build the deck frame and to install the steps from the main level to the basement!!
As you can see, a lot of the snow in back has melted and it's pretty muddy in places - it also LOOKS like a construction zone back there!!! But I guess that's to be expected!!!
