Waiting for Concrete at 133 Ohio: June 18-??
|
The contractor said that the concrete company might
come as early as Wednesday, since the excavation was completed Tuesday,
ahead of schedule. Optimism was in the air. Judy and Karen harvested
rocks for Judy's garden |
Tony from Vendura
came Wednesday to measure the walls around the bathtub and the step
for the solid surface. They're scheduled to install the panels on
July 2. Then the plumber can put in the toilet and bathtub fixtures,
and Karen can order the shower door. Sure hope the plumber isn't
on vacation.
|
Wednesday came and went, featuring a high temperature of 87 degrees
and no precipitation before 5 p.m. A perfect day for working with
concrete. Rain fell Wednesday night. |
|
Just like Wednesday, Thursday and Friday went by,
with respective highs of 72 and 76 degrees. 0.19 inches of rain fell
between 5 p.m. Wednesday and 5 p.m. Thursday.
No concrete, though the contractor reported Thursday that the concrete
guy stopped by to look over the site.
Thursday night Karen dreamed of snow covering her pit and pile of
dirt with a gentle white blanket. |
The contractor, the plumber
and the architect consulted
on the creative second-floor
plumbing on Friday.
|
On Friday, the contractor started working on cutting the hole for
the new stairs to the basement. He wisely decided to bring in the
city building inspector.
On Monday, we hope. |
|
On Saturday, Sandy from work stopped by to pick
up some composted dirt.
Another fine day for pouring concrete, but they don't work on the
weekend. Saturday's high was 81 degrees. |
|
Stuart and his nephews stopped by to the Sunday read
the newspaper.
The neighborhood wish list includes a swimming pool and skateboard
park.
Send your suggestions.
