First they had to remove concrete patios, the garage floor and driveway:
|
On the second day, they started dismantling the fireplace and digging up the
sewer line:
|
|
Whoops, there goes the fireplace!!
|
By July 9, the foundation was formed for the 2-car garage, which will be a
definite improvement over the old 1-car garage! Also the foundation forms for
dining room and master bath addition were completed.
|
|
Nabor and crew dug out trenches for the hot water return line, sewer,
electrical conduit and other plumbing. These busy workers remind me of ants,
scurrying around and working very hard.
|
During the 3rd week, he plumbing crew arrived to start putting all new pipes
in. Here they are working on the replacement sewer line.
|
|
This is the "strong wall" for the garage...it provides a lot of reinforcement
to hold the house up in case of earthquakes, etc.
|
These pipes are in the master bathroom. You can also see the wire 'mesh' that
reinforces the concrete in the foundation, which was poured the day after this
picture was taken.

Subcontractor Juan Delgado is doing a SUPERB job with the concrete. Here is
smoothing the foundation for the master bathroom.
|
And finally, this phase of the concrete work is finished on Friday, July 20!!!
