Day - 79 Pour me a Slab, Brick me a Wall






Over the weekend we arranged a few boards downstairs to get an idea of where to put our sectional sofa. Its was fun and we marked off various things in the room to pretend how it would be when it was complete. We used tape to mark off where a rug would go, and a cardboard cutout on the wall to see where the TV would look good. We even set out a few spools and buckets to pretend we were sitting on the sofa enjoying our new room. Like usual Caleb was standing up on the pretend sofa.
The guys were back at it early Monday morning and worked until dusk. First of all the brick masons were back on site today and were putting up the brick for the exterior wall of the downstairs, along the rear of the screen porch. We have enough old brick to use for this wall so it looks fantastic. The guys also formed up and poured the slab for our outside storage room which is under the deck of our parking shelter. They also poured a footing to support the front part of the parking shelter decking. Then the guys removed the final brick pier from the area in the downstairs where I will have my workshop. This opens up an area about 8x8 which I will use for bike maintenance. The electrician was also here yesterday running wires here and there and everywhere. We also started to do the final layout with the architect (JD) for the counters, cabinets and lighting in the downstairs kitchenette.
