Across the Board...

We're making progress "across the board" on all projects we're involved with right now. A quick run down...

-Jason Schuling was busy most of the week installing the tin ceiling at the Cooper's kitchen in Palouse. (awaiting pictures)
-Tim got the foundation wall poured at the Rubino addition. (note gallery left)
-Robby, Henry and I kept moving bit by bit at the George master bathroom remodel. (inserted photos)

 What you see in the gallery left was taken on Tuesday, March 30 at the Rubino remodel site. The crew worked Saturday and Monday to finish forming for the 10' wall that makes up the north foundation wall of the addition so that we would be able to pour the wall on Tuesday. As you can see from the pictures there was a tremendous amount of thought that went into the forming of the 10' wall; again Eddie Kilner proved to be a valuable asset efficiently working by Tim's side to insure everything was well braced and properly bolted. We used a pump truck to move concrete from the trucks to the top of the wall; running lifts along the shorter walls and in the corners of the big 10' wall before doing additional lifts, vibrating at each lift. We made the top of the wall level by finding level with an "auto-level", transferring the level around the forms and setting duplex nails along the line to have a reference throughout the pour. It was a very solid pour, ie. no potential problems arose, and the entire wall set well as you can see by tomorrow's pics.

Robby Lisenby performed a majority of the demolition at the George residence Tuesday and Wednesday of last week. You can see by my shaky, mobile phone pictures Robby tearing into the drywall and after tomorrow's additional post you'll be able to see what the space became by the end of the week. Suffice it to say for now that the bathroom is twice as large as it was and the two closets you see in the one photo have been combined into a single large closet. The most intriguing aspect of the George remodel is the walk-in shower that is curbless and features an adjustable shower head, the setting for the shower pan of which was a bit technical but which will be a very nice addition to the master bathroom for the residents.  Jason Schuling will do all the tiling for this bathroom and we'll keep you posted.
