No photos today. It was a great weekend though because Suzie brought the kids down for the weekend. It was so nice to see them. Although we skye a lot it is not enough. That hands on snuggling and Brian always gets his walk in with Faida. Just the two of them no one else, they go and watch the boats and ducks in the harbour.
The pour was pretty clean so Brian, Graham and I took the bracing down and stacked it ready for the next level. We really need to sort all the tools again. Put them back in the boxes they belong in and be ready for our next step. Then we cleaned off the deck for the garage workshop so we can get that filled as well. Which will lead to the more complicated aspect which is heating coils in the concrete floors. This will set us back in our timeline. Mostly because none of the supplies are lined up yet so we may meet delays if materials are not available. Then placing the stuff could be a nightmare but we will try to think positive thoughts.
We also got the basement portion ready so that the floor can be done today or tomorrow. That was mostly taking braces down and cleaning up rest of the area. Then the floor joists can be put up and we can back fill. The we are out of the ground which is what I have been waiting for. BUT!!! we also have to put a waterproofing membrane on anything that is completely out of the ground. The membrane that was sent with the NuDura is a roll of material that seems to have a fair bit of tar on it. Rubber gloves for sure and Evan is bringing coveralls for the lucky people that get to go in the pit to apply it.
We also have another offer from the same people. It is better but not where we need to be. The hard part is trying to figure out if our agent is working for us or them. We'll see when we send this back today.
E/B
It should say anything in the ground needs waterproofing and the rubber gloves did not work at all they just stuck to the tar and were hard to get off.
