5 months and 3 weeks later -

We FINALLY have a basement floor!

Monday, the crew came to prep the site for the cement. They ran into SOO many problems. The windows were set too low, the plumbing not sunk down far enough. After many hours of frustration, they ended up creating a step down into the basement, so the plumbing can be covered, yet the windows not too low. The cement under the bathroom and entryway was 12 inches or so, then 4 inches at the front, and ended up being 12 inches or so again at the very back of the house. YIKES.

On Tuesday, the floor was done! The kids have been riding their scooters on the expanse of concrete. FUN! This weekend we are working to haul the subfloor materials down the hill so that can begin on Monday. Tedious work, but we're moving in the right direction.

SMILE.
