In my last update, I posted photos of the concrete piers in the backyard with empty space between the piers within the framed areas. After those photos were taken, the crew finished the prep work for the floor of the new areas and the city inspector signed off on the inspection.
I took the first two photos below on February 1. I arrived at the house just in time to run upstairs and watch the gigantic concrete truck maneuver its way into the alley space. It;s a good thing our fence is knocked down/being replaced because otherwise it never would have fit into the space.
I watched the truck get set up and I stayed for the beginning of the pour. The wet concrete coming out of the hose was quite gross! They poured the concrete for the garage and the outdoor deck area. II took the photo below while standing in the remnants of our living room, looking directly out the back towards the backyard.
They let the concrete settle for the rest of the week and at the beginning of the next week they started framing the addition. The space closest to where I am standing is the garage, which will connect into a hallway with a utility room, half bath, office nook, and storage closets coming off the hallway.
John and I drove by a few days later over the weekend and it was fun to see the progress in the framing. John is standing on the concrete slab of Scott's outdoor kitchen/grilling area.
