After a late arrival Saturday morning, Katie and I worked like dogs for over 9 hours to get the floors ready for concrete on Tuesday.
It took a little bit of thought to properly lay out the heating matts upstairs. All of them have to connect to the power box and thermostat in the allway. I unded up cutting through a couple of bottom plates in order to route the wires. One matt in the bunk room, one in the master bedroom, one in the bathroom, and one in the shower.
- We made the final corrections to the fireplace at took pictures (see prior post). And to celebrated we lit a fire that lasted all day and go the inside up over 65 degrees! Ahhhhh.
- I modified the upper temporary staircase so it can still be used while allowing room for the concrete to be poured and finished at the landing.
- Katie silcone caulked the forms around the stairwells so that the final concrete edges looks good and isn't too sharp.
- Katie and I layed out and stapled the heating element matts on the top floor.
- We layed chicken wire in bunk room.

We were hoping to get both floors totally ready for concrete, but by 9pm we were both totally exhausted and we had run out of staples.
We still need to lay chicken wire in the master bedroom, hallway and upstairs bathrooms. Then we need to install the matts and chickenwire on the main level. Since conrete comes Tuesday morning, I have to take Monday off work to go back up and get all this done. (We're definitely buying an electric stapler Monday morning.)
