Day 6 - 9/13/2010

The guys are back to work on foundation.  They dug up deep trenches for the foundation footings, did the base dirt work for the pour, started building the forms and marked the lines for the height of the pour.

Getting ready to pour the foundation

Also, the height of the concrete in the existing sunroom has to be raised to match the rest of the house.  This used to be a small covered patio until the previous owners put in the pool and the current patio.  At that time they enclosed this small porch to become the current sunroom.  They had to remove the ceramic tiles that Andy meticulously laid a couple years back.  That was a bit noisy as his office is just on the other side of that plastic sheet and it DOES NOT offer much in the way of sound abatement.

Andy's hard work destroyed in a matter of minutes... all in the name of progress

The foundation prep should be ready for inspection on Tue or Wed.  The city has to approve the work before the pour takes place.

We received word that the city approved the new elevation of brick and received the engineer's report on the foundation and that the permit is approved and ready to be picked up.

The highlight of the day however was when the Port-O-Potty arrived.  The workers were happy about that!!  Unfortunately the yard has a slope here.  I put bricks under the lower side and hopefully it won't tip over, especially when occupied.

This arrival caused great excitement!!

For the secondary Master Suite project, Andy, after a quick trip to Home Depot, hooked up the plumbing to the sink on Monica's vanity.  With Courts' help, he unhooked and removed his old vanity in preparation for the installation of the new vanity cabinets.  Making progress slowly but surely.
