K35 - 1 month update
Lots of progress to report at the k35 semi detached project as we have just passed the one month milestone from the day we poured the footing to early this week. We finished the first full construction month with the shingles on and the basement slabs poured. The plumber is partway through the drainage network, and can now get down into the basement to do the network under the main floor. Decent weather and a good framing crew has enabled all the other associated activity. We are now going to get the garage started and move into Hvac and electrical as we approach the end of September. Overall a really good start to the project.
By mid morning the slabs are both poured. The bulk of the day will be spent by a portion of the crew that sticks around to hand trowel, and later power trowel the finished surface.
The temporary stairs in place have allowed access from the very start of the project where we installed the drainage plumbing, and later the Styrofoam and hydronic rough-in tied to the rebar grid. Getting these in place makes it much easier for the trades to access, and especially the inspector who wont do the inspection unless safe access is available.
