Wet Cement



It's poured! Now all we have left to do is sheetrock the interior walls, tape and texture, tear out the ceiling and redo that, frame up the outside wall, put in the windows and brick them up, build a pantry and some shelves and Voila! It will be living space!!
Ok well they poured the cement and it looks really good, a lot smoother than the shop turned out. With the shop, we have the craters of the moon to deal with. It's awful. These guys took a look at the shop and asked why we didn't sue. "Because the contractor lives across the street," we told them, and it's more important to have good neighbors than flat concrete, but you don't have to do that twice... They may be able to sand down the concrete in the shop so it's flat, and that would be amazing.
The next project (!) is a walk in closet in our room. All I have to do is give up wearing clothes for a few months while that is going on. So if you see me wearing less than usual, you can sympathize with me that my clothes are not AWL but excused for construction.
