7,500 Staple Dash #GirlPower

Katie, Annie, Abbie, Amelia and I all went to the cabin on an emergency Monday to get the in-floor heat ready for concrete in the morning.  It was an awesome day. Much more work and time thany any of us expected.

The girls, including an expecting mother, ruled the day.

After Saturday, I decided to buy a couple electric staplers, and 10,000 3/8" staples. We went through 7,500 staples today. The floors will be poured 1" thick. Chicken wire just doesn't lay down very nicely without a lot of staple persuasion.

Finishing up the hallway is the pregnant daughter.

The shower room is taped off to remind the workers not to pour the concrete in there. 
I'll be installing Wedi board and tile.

Katie gets sole credit for prep'ing the bunkroom.
