The March of Progress

The foundation is complete at 528 E. Duffy. For those of you fascinated by foundations, this particular type requires the plumbers to do some rough in at the same time the concrete is being poured. Note the white PVC drain lines. At 414 E. Duffy we used a slightly different foundation system, but as there's very little difference in the finished product, we thought we'd try this to see how it compared. One difference with this slab is that there is no flooring system. In other words, for hardwood floors a subfloor needs to be glued down then solid hardwood floors would then be nailed into the sleeper system subfloor. You could also do engineered floors simply by gluing them directly to the slab. Next we'll start framing.

Over on 521 E. Charlton the back yard has been cleared for the parking.

The backyard has now been leveled for the parking. This also gives us a place to put our dumpster. We'll be moving inside as soon as the permits are finalized.
