As promised, the garage floor is ready for concrete.

Gary, Jimmy and Bud finished leveling the gravel this morning. Then they covered the floor with a sheet of plastic, which will prevent moisture from rising through the floor from the ground.

They also laid rebar across the floor and tied it together to form 3-foot squares. After that, they tied the rebar to supports that hold it a couple of inches above the gravel base.

In cabinet news, we got a call last week from the first cabinet place we visited (more than a month and half ago). I had called the designer/sales rep the week before to find out what was taking so long. When she finally returned my call, she requested another week to complete our estimate.

I'm not hopeful that we'll actually get a bid from her this week. Now that we know what level of service to expect there, we obviously won't be choosing that place to build and install our cabinets. But we do want another estimate for comparison's sake.
