Basement Floor…Day 2

The Sletten crew poured the second half of the basement floor early this morning. Anna and I stopped by at about 7:00 pm and found Matt putting the finishing touches on the floor. The cement takes quite a while to set up in the cool conditions. The basement looks and feels completely different with the new floor in place.

Paul was working in the other end of the basement installing polystyrene insulation on the walls. The foam is glued and then screwed to the cement blocks. A framed wall will be installed inside the foam and covered with sheetrock. The Tappe guys plan to start the basement wall framing tomorrow morning.

A header and framing was installed in the passage into the crawl space this morning. There is an open web truss centered above the opening that required addition support and the 10” header height will provide space for the waste line plumbing from above to cross the doorway. Anna decided that the crawl space should be carpeted and turned into a play room!
