Primed Floors for Concrete. Doors ordered.

The bridge to our development that has been under construction since Summer has finally reopened, making it possible for us to get a heavy concrete truck to KnArrow Haus in order to poor the concrete floors. In preparation, Katie and I sealed the floors with primer on Saturday. Doing this will, at least partially, prevent the floor from sucking the moisture out of the concrete as it cures.

Master bedroom.

Bathroom.

Bunkroom.

Family room.

We used our portable propane heater to warm up the Haus enough for the waterbased primer to cure. Insulation makes a huged difference. We got the top two floors up in to the balmy 60 degree range.

While we waited for the primer to dry with the propane heater running, I built a campfire to burn through our growing pile of scrap wood.

Unfortunately, although our insulation concractors fixed most of the items we asked them to correct, they failed miserably on the primary task, which was to insulated the *sides* of the shed dormer next to the fireplace. It seems like such a simple task. We're probably going to have to meet them up there in order to get the proper correction made.  As soon as that's done, I will call for inspections on the framing and insulation. 

I also ordered the wrong size fittings for adding bottom rails to the outdoor railing, which I was planning to work on over the weekend.  So a new order and a return to Grainger. 

I also placed the door order this week. We're going to install painted 2-panel, shaker/cratsmen style doors. 

They'll be painted the Sherwin Williams color "Web Gray". Here's a sample picture off their website showing the color.

I'm also working on ordering the plywood panels that will be used on the ceilings -- hopefully ordering those on Monday.  I'm going to have them cut the 4 x 8 panels in to 2 x 8 panels, which will look nicer and be easier to mount on the ceiling.

So, hopefully this coming week we'll get the instulation corrected and be able to get our final inspections allowing us to cover everything with paneling and wallboard. And this weekend we'll get the electrical in-floor heating installed and wired so we can pour concrete the following week.
