The Slettens poured the second half of the garage at The “L” Shaped House early this morning. I stopped by at about 9:30 just in time to catch some of the finishing operations on the slab. The photos show Matt working an edging tool and Jim running the power trowel. The Video is an extended look at the power trowel in operation.
Fun Facts…
- The floor is 6 inches thick throughout the garage…
- There are 25 1/2 yards of concrete in the garage floor (more than 100,000 lbs)…
- There is one “tooled” edge down the middle of the space and nine control joints (Zip Strips)…
The last photo shows Jim Sletten working the power trowel over the garage floor. He has added a water pail to the handle and occasionally sprinkles some on the surface as he works the trowel. They will cover the floor with plastic before they leave. Jim will be back to help pour the new basement floor in a few weeks and Matt will be doing the tile work in the “L” Shaped House, but finishing the garage floor marks an important milestone in the project…the foundation is done!
The garage floor at 3:30 this afternoon, all covered up in plastic curing away…slowly…
