We have been having trouble at the house because the left-hand driveway has been being rebuilt and the parking area off of it is unavailable. We have had a lot of different tradespeople out there and our street is very narrow. It is also a Fire Watch time when you’re not supposed to park on the street. So the trucks have been parking in front of our neighbors or in their driveways. Some of them turned up this morning (loudly) at 5:45AM in preparation for what was supposed to be the last cement pour but wasn’t. Sigh. Unhappy neighbors.
Today they poured colored concrete for the long staircase from the garage up to the apartment and on to the deck, a short staircase from the other driveway up to the backyard, the bridge to the backyard, and the front steps. After they poured the cement, they coated it was some blue liquid that keeps it from drying out too much. Tomorrow they will scratch the surface and the aggregate to show some of the stones and make it rougher. The contractor sent photos of the brown concrete, by the time Nina was out in the afternoon, it was all blue.
Meanwhile, work has been progressing inside the house. The carpenter has been working on the TV room cabinets and in the kitchen.
At the same time, the tilers have been busy putting in counters in the master bathroom and guest bathroom. The apartment has been closed up while the staircase was being built.
I forgot to take a picture in the master bathroom. Tomorrow we count drawers and cabinets to order handles and knobs.
