Pump truck are the only way to get the concrete up to the house

The house is really coming together. The framer has finished the structure and the roof is on. The plumber and the radiant heat contractor have wrapped up the rough-in phase of their work. We have installed the decks for the second level and are now spending our time building all the details like arches and the fireplace surround. Today and Thursday the concrete flat-work crew will be installing our floors. All floors in the house are going to be smooth concrete with colored stain on them. With the floor being all concrete, the radiant heat will make this an extremely comfortable home.

In order to keep fresh air in the house we are installing a heat recovery ventilation system in the attic. This system will bring in fresh air and exhaust the stale air. The unique thing about the system is that it captures the heat from the stale air and uses it to heat the fresh air coming in. By placing the intake ports in the bedrooms and living room and then the exhaust port in the bathrooms and laundry room we move the air through the house and remove moisture at the same time. We will still install bath fans in addition to the heat recovery system, due the the high humidity in our climate.

Some days it seems all I do is make phone calls

We have also installed another eight foot high retaining wall in the back of the house to hold back the hillside.
