CONCRETE SLAB
|
We told them that we would probably not be doing any flooring over the concrete. We were going to stain and seal it. They did a beautiful job with the slab.
We had the concrete floor poured four inches inside the first row of concrete blocks. Our thinking was it would cut down on the critters able to get in from outside. If we were not above ground level during monsoon season our floors would be flooded.
There were cuts made down the center of the slab to minimize the cracking.There were two small cracks about a foot long each after the cuts when the floor settled. The slab was very even and smooth.
You can see the kitchen plumbing (left)and where the two bathrooms will be(right). The flexible plumbing is buried in the concrete slab, the pipes and venting are sticking up out of the concrete.
We laid out our blocks to get a visual of our rooms. We made several modifications once we could see the layout. On paper, everything looked bigger. We modified the kitchen making it 4 feet wider, living room and hallway which is 5 feet wide. We did this if we were ever going to get a wheelchair through to be bedrooms. There were some things that just could not be changed.
