Tile & Pad Prep

A couple more days and another step forward. Deb’s been in Portland for work so I have been on my own working on the house in the evenings. Again, the pics tell it all. Bath/shower window is a little thought we had when we designed the master bath – a window that you can look out while you take a shower and see the trees. Lets in some natural light too. Need window in place before Matt arrives on Monday. Next….. the concrete pad for the front door / entry. Had to frame it in and added some old rebar we had laying around. Might as well use it heh? Not all straight rebar but it serves the same purpose. First time I ever laid out a pad like this.... even calculated/added the outslope for water drainage. I like doing stuff like this - just wish I wasn't always rushed. Kevin will help us pour and maybe stain? Might pour next week. Then can install front door!
Got a call from a long long time friend tonight. Gary Warman. Been a dear friend of mine for over 50 years. One of the “trio.” Long story for another time. Great hearing his voice… again, it was one of those times when it doesn’t matter when the last time was we talked…. It just went on like it was yesterday….. a very good thing.
Goodnight.
