Day 15 - Pumping water

After a frustrating morning of trying to pump out all the rain water that has collected over the past few days, I finally was able to put in the remaining 'pony wall' and lay down the poly in preparation for the concrete skim coat which will be poured tomorrow. We've got a crew of concrete finishers who will come in the morning and pour both the skim coat in the crawl space and the slab in the garage. But, of course, it will depend on the weather. Meanwhile, I will be and have been helping out my dad who came home from his holidays to find out both his guys quit on him while he was away! He's been desperate in finding skilled labour with no criminal records. One of his latest jobs is moving furniture in the RCMP building (to allow the carpet layers to lay carpet) and has had five different guys rejected due to past criminal offenses!
So next week I get to finally start framing in the floor. We should see lots of progress from here on in...
