Wiring a fixture...

Many, many, many, many more to go...

Lunch in Red Rock...

8 miles from home it has some awesome fresh deli selections!  David had a thinly sliced turkey sandwich with colby jack and I had a slice of 'za.  Bringing some chicken salad home as it makes a nice snack.

Concrete for stucco completed....

They will come back next week to paint! :)

I tried to brush away the stone chips so we can reuse them later... :)

Starting on stucco today! :)

Ready to work in this cold weather

Still not feeling top notch, but mask helps me breathe warm air which my nose and throat thank me for...

Running power...

Thank goodness for the purchase of knee pads!

Floor is not done

We still need to apply the High Gloss Sealer.  Then wait 24 hrs to dry.  Then cover with paper to protect for rest of construction.  We will need to wax it right before we move in the furniture.

This process is more difficult than I imagined, but it is going to look beautiful!!!

Staining and neutralizing done

David spoke with manufacturer about residue removal.  There is still some visible, but it depends on if it reacts with the sealer.

Removing residue is definitely the worst part to this whole concrete staining process

Suggestions?  Tried to call manufacturer, but they are not open on weekends...

Enjoying our new floors!

Neutralizing the floor to stop stain reaction with lime in concrete

Making staining progress

We only bought one sprayer to keep it consistent throughout the house.  David is doing a great job.  My mom and I are trying to keep the floors clean.  The roofers are still working and dropping remnants from their stapling.

HVAC duct work in attic

We taped up the doors to protect them

It takes minimum 4-6 hours for our stain to react with the concrete

The staining process has begun!

Floors prepped!

Tomorrow is concrete floor staining day!  Today was the most important cleaning part to get ready to stain.   I swept, David vacuumed, and then I mopped.  Took a long time as we have a lot of floor!  May have to invest in a Roomba!

Chimney is flashed and finished. Now to paint it.

Deciding whether to keep it two toned or just paint same color as trim.  Any suggestions?  Tiny house doesnt have a chimney!

Yeah for a roof!
