Finishing the floor and the pour

Kaila and Kenny installing our temporary mailbox at the new house construction site. Instead of changing our address multiple times, we decided to just put a mailbox up at the new house location and not get mail at the rental house. When we get the sewer and water lines installed and final gravel on the driveway, we'll put in a more permanent mail box in a better location. This one's pretty far from our driveway and a touch over on our neighbor's property.



The pics here show the contractor pouring the last bit of concrete for the first floor and finishing the surface. I think we are stopping by the site today to see how things look after a few days of curing, so I'll try to post more photos later too. Just a sidebar to the story: it was soooo hot the day they poured, that they started at 6:00 am. I was surprised that we could get the crew, concrete, and pumper truck there all that early, but everyone was great and accommodating. Evenso, the concrete set up so quick that they didn't have time to get all of our anchor bolts set in, so we'll have to use an alternative type of anchor bolt that's drilled in during framing instead.

As always, we'll keep you posted on the progress! Hope you enjoy the pics. As always, comments and questions are welcomed. Many of you have said that it's difficult to register to leave comments here, so if you'd prefer, you can email me at nuttergreenhome@yahoo.com Thanks!
