We had to remove the window sashes from four windows and built protective boxes around the window frames to keep the chutes from tearing them to shreads which is a good thing we did because one of the trucks hit our box.
We backed several concrete trucks in through the windows some went around to shoot through the doors. We had a total of 6 trucks.
Here is the beginning pour this is one truckload. This one they brought in through the bedroom window. As they were pouring they were hooking the radiant lines and re-mesh and pulling them up into the concrete.
They have now poured both bedrooms and are now working on the livingroom, which they brought in through the doorway.
Here they had them going in side by side through our front doorways.
They were shooting into the master bedroom. So very glad the drivers can actually drive.
The place looks like a concrete terminal to me.
Inside shot of the masterbedroom pour.
looking good with the bull float, here they are in the diningroom; wheel barraling it from the back door.
And several photos of the power trowels as they went over and over it again and again. So here I have just one picture uploaded because they all look the same really, and I really don't want to bore you.
We opted to not put in any control joints, for various reasons, the biggest reason was because of the radiant lines and only 4 inch depth of the concrete, we didn't feel comfortable sawing them in. We expect cracks, but are hoping they wont appear. So to give us a good chance that they wont appear, we covered the floor with plastic to slow down the drying time to make the concrete harder, the longer it takes to dry the stronger it gets, the plastic may cause a mottling effect on the floor, but since we are staining it, that should add character.
I'll post pictures of the plastic wrapped floor probably tomorrow, and the porch pour on Monday, as time permits.
