I'm a retired educator (teacher/principal) who moved from Northern California to Payson, Arizona in September, 2010.
This blog will chronicle my adventures as I explore a different ecosystem and build my new home.

Concrete Floors

The concrete floors were poured in two days. Downstairs first and then upstairs. Most of the upstairs will be wood floor but they poured the garage, office, greenhouse and laundry/mud room. We were going to have the office and laundry room be stained concrete but changed our minds and now think we will put wood in the office and a tile in the mud room.


The guys went over and over the floors to get them just right. It took many hours.


We are going to leave the concrete downstairs and stain it to finish it. We'll see how we like it. If we don't, we can always put carpet or wood over it.


The downstairs area includes two guest bedrooms, bathroom, exercise room, office nook for me and a storage area.


We are expecting snow today and tomorrow with temperatures in the 30's so we got this done just in time.


On Friday, the guys will put saw cuts into the concrete......makes it look like tile once it is stained and prevents it from cracking.


Mom is safely back in California. We had a great visit and she got to see the house project from the beginning.
