Today the gang continued to prepare the garage for its concrete floor.
The plan is to pour a 5-inch floor. So they installed flashing around the framing and built a retaining form around the entire perimeter of the floor. Leveling the gravel base was the most time-consuming part of the project.
They also installed a couple of forms where the support poles for the ceiling beam will stand. Those forms will hold additional concrete, so that the floor will be thicker and stronger where it supports the ceiling.
Brenda, our friend and hairstylist, checked out our progress today.
The guys plan to continue preparing the floor for concrete Monday -- which includes adding the rebar and its supports, and finishing leveling the gravel. Also, the pipe for the toilet isn't quite high enough. The plumber will have to raise it so it will be even with the floor after the concrete is poured.
Right now, the concrete trucks are scheduled to arrived first thing Tuesday morning.
