Tuesday report

Yet another Bermudaful day, with very comfortable temperatures.  All 4 guys were on hand for the morning work, then Johnny and Luis spent the afternoon at the hospital project.


Luis got right to work on the ceiling at the top of the stairs.  It had to be sanded and prepared for painting, which kicked up quite a bit of dust.

While Luis was working on the ceiling, Chris and Tony were right outside, working on the steps leading to the stairs entrance.  They had to build a supporting wall between the steps and the front yard.

As the other 3 guys were working at the front of the house, Johnny was out back working on the plumbing for the new master bathroom.  He had to add some hot and cold water pipes and get things ready before the concrete slab can be poured.

At the end of the afternoon, Chris got back to jack hammering the garage floor.  The concrete is very solid there and it will take awhile for that job to be finished.

Troy arrived at the end of the afternoon and we concentrated on finishing the work in the ceilings and walls of the office and radio room.  We're now ready for the guys to install the ceiling and wall board when they're ready to do so.  A few more wall socket boxes were also put in the downstairs bedroom and some of the conduit was put in place.


Once again, a very productive and long day.  Here it is, just after 11pm, and I'm now getting ready to post today's blog entry.  Hope you enjoy it!
