Prepping for Stained Concrete...

Grinding and polishing the concrete floors in preparation for the stain and sealer is messy work.

Rock On...

In other words, sheetrock is now on the walls and ceilings.  And polishing the concrete floors is underway with stain and sealer to be applied over the weekend.

Ready to Rock...

Last week we finally got the "okay to rock" with the final framing green tag.  Unfortunately, it was after a slight delay to correct a "red tag" on the dryer vent pipe material.  It was fixed within hours; however, it required calling-back both the Mechnical and Framing inspectors which took most of a week.  Some work was able to continue, but we were only able to really start (sheet)rockin' on Dec 22nd.  Sheetrock rough-in should be done by Dec 29th.  The stained concrete will be done next before continuing with tape, bed, float, and trim the following week.

Almost time for sheetrock...

Sealer was applied to the stained concrete ceilings and columns over the weekend.  A/V wiring wrapped-up yesterday as sheetrock was being delivered.  In preparation for the inspector, hardie backer has been applied to the showers and all the walls sealed-up.  We've called for the framing inspection today.  If all goes well, sheetrock will start going up immediately after the inspection.

Green is beautiful...

Especially when it's three "green tags" for Electrical, Plumbing, and Sprinkler inspections.  Also, AC work completed today... and A/V wiring starts tomorrow.
