Okay. So I haven't been really good about staying on top of things - like posting photos as the project moves along. "So what's new about that?" you might ask. Clearly nothing is new about that and moi!! LOL
That's it for today. Tomorrow I'll post about the construction! Have a great day.
But here we go on the new studio progress report.
Drum roll please!
 Here they are laying down the 2" thick, pink insulation foam on top of the ground. You can see that the water pipes are already installed. I will have a very teeny, tiny bathroom and a washer/dryer hook-up for dyeing fabric. |
I wanted a few electrical outlets in the floor. And since I will have a poured concrete floor, the outlets have to go in first. They measure out per my drawing for the center of the outlets, then they extend a plastic tube to the wall.
Radiant heat in the floor!
After being in my cold, walk out basement for a few years now I am going to love being toasty warm in the winter!
Hot water will run through the tubes under the concrete floor.
I am going to heat the hot water with propane.
All ready for the concrete!
For some reason this was so very exciting for me.
Seeing that giant cement mixer come up my little dirt path.
They have to work kind of quickly here to spread the concrete out before it starts to set.
After just a few hours they can smooth out the top with the machine you see there.
It has 4 long paddles that spin around. The other guy sprays a bit of water on the surface so the machine spins smoothly.
