We had a little break in the weather today, and were finally able to pour the concrete walls that will make up the garage of the home today. Once the wooden forms are taken off, the concrete that is contained within them (with hopefully only a small amount of grinding and polishing) will create the exterior finish of the garage. It`s a fairly labor intensive process, but once complete, gives a building a sleek, modern appearance.
The carpenters will come in tomorrow to bolt 4x4`s to the concrete slab which will hold the floor joists. It`s a different style of construction than I`m used to but does make sense. Rather than bury the plumbing and electrical in the concrete slab, everything runs through the void created by raising the actual floor you walk on above the concrete slab. We lost a couple days to rain, and the walls are now scheduled to arrive at the job next week Monday.
