Garage floor's done! Elkészült a garázs padlózata

Another step closer....we've got the garage floor done ( or basement ceiling)! It's good to see the progress, and how Dave's crew is working on our house. As I told Dave the other day, I didn't really like Mondays in the past, knowing that the whole week is still ahead, and the weekend is so far....but now I kinda like Mondays, because after a "long" weekend when they're not around, the crew is back and back to work...:)
So yesterday I was talking to Dave and he said they'd probably be done with all the floors by the end of next week, and then they can start working on the framing of the first floor..and I was like, "so when is the concrete coming?" Since I'm from Europe, I can't imagine a house, especially floors, without solid concrete:) Dave started laughing and pointed to the floor saying, "hey, this is SOLID...you'll have concrete on the driveway". OK, I trust them, they know it better than I do...:)) Just in case, though, I checked the floor if it was really that solid :)) So walked up there with Noemi, and tested it by jumping, stomping on it. It is OK :))

Egy újabb lépéssel közelebb...elkészült a garázs padlózata (ami egyben a basement mennyezete). Jó látni a haladást, ahogy Dave csapata dolgozik a házon. Dave-nek mondtam a minap, hogy régebben nem szerettem a hétfőket, mert olyankor az egész hét előtted van, és a hétvége még nagyon messzinek tűnik...mostanában viszont valahogy kedvelem a hétfőt, mert a hosszú hétvége után, amikor nincs itt a csapat, a hét első napján ismét itt vannak, és megint dolgoznak:) Tegnap beszélgettem Dave-vel, és azt mondta, valószinűleg jövő héten befejezik a padlózatot, és kezdik a falakat..én meg rákérdeztem, hogy a beton mikor érkezik? Hát, igen, európai agyammal nem tudok egy házat, főleg a padlózatot szilád beton nélkül elképzelni.. Dave elkezdett nevetni, és a padlóra mutatva mondta: EZ SZILÁRD, nézd csak meg. Beton majd a kocsifeljárón lesz...:) Na jó, rendben, bizom benne, hogy tudják, mit csinálnak:) Azért biztos, ami biztos, leellenőriztem a dolgot, és Noémivel felmentünk rá, ugráltunk, dobogtunk...Minden rendben, tényleg nagyon stabil:)

Hello everyone! Üdv mindenkinek!

The big day:) / A nagy nap :)

Yes, the big day is here: we started the demolition on Monday, June 7th! The previous night was crazy, we had to clean out the whole house...Even though I had started it quite a few days earlier, still there was a lot in there. Clothes in the closets, kitchen utensils, lots of canned food in the pantry (I wonder why on earth we have to keep so much stuff in the pantry) folders in the file cabinet, toys,  you name it...Travis came over to help take out the big pieces, like the stove, TV, refrigerator etc. We were up till midnight, so exhausted by then that could hardly move :) We just pulled out everything, put them in boxes, not caring any more about sorting things...Now most of them are in boxes all around - in the shed, in the pool (this is our new storage place, it had been drained,of course:-) I'm sure it'll take days till we can find everything we need :) After the long, tiring day, we fell asleep really quickly in the motor home :) Monday morning came fast, the demo guys

Today's accomplishment .. A mai nap eredménye

...so today's accomplishment is this: the blocks have been delivered, the crane arrived on time and the blocks are being lowered into the basement area just right now. Not bad...Good thing it is "just" 95F today. ...szóval a mai nap eredménye: a betontégla megérkezett (nem is tudom, téglának illik-e nevezni:), a daru is itt volt reggel időben, és most éppen pakolják a raklapokat a basementbe...jó kis munka...szerencsére ma már "csak" 35c-os meleg van..
