Deliveries + Deck + 2nd Floor Flooring = Progress

Our first delivery was from our reliable local building supplier with the materials to build the structure for our deck.  (We miscalculated and I scurried around to stores to find stainless steel rod.)  Our spiral stairway came second and the driver was not keen on traversing our driveway with his 18-wheeler. I took the pole in my van, and Bill got the skidsteer and moved the 800 lb. pallet of goodies. Our last delivery was the decking and railing materials.  They still need to deliver one box which hopefully will come Monday.

Vincent came and worked with Felix and Bruce, making sure the posts were appropriately placed, and later that the deck structure was square. We were introducing them to the LockDry Decking System.  Our latest picture of progress:

 

We met with an enthusiastic flooring salesperson, and made the decision to complete our flooring with his company.  They started work two days ago and have completed vinyl plank and tile throughout the second floor.

Another crew is due to arrive Monday and work on the first floor.  We will be completing most of the area this next week, and wait until after Thanksgiving to have them come back and tackle the remaining four rooms.
Our carpenters noticed that we had a lot to do this weekend in order to have people come in to work on the first floor, so they came, and are helping us out with a smile!

Thank you, Bruce
