Work on the soffit material is coming along. Below are a few pictures of the process. We (my dad and I) worked a day staining the soffit material a "Nantucket white" semi-transparent stain. We also did this with 1x4 pine material that will be used for under the front deck.
Today the painter (I think John is his name) was working on the varnishing of the soffit material, 2 coats on the face, and 1 on the back. It adds a bit of yellowish hue, but still has that frosted white look.
Below are staging area and were we stacked some of the material to dry.
The work rate is starting to pick up again. The electrical passed inspection recently.
Below is the pour for the back stairwell outside. It is a really nice pour and finish.
The stairwell up to the back and the side(retaining?) wall will be poured next week.
Here is a picture of the electrical tubes that contain the wiring to the hookup from the electrical boxes in the garage.
Below is Geoff working on the modification to the drainage pipes and finishing the forms for the front stairwell landing area. Contrary to appearances, the guy is very intelligent and well spoken. We recently got into a good discussion over some beer with him and our next door neighbor over the current world financial market and entrepreneurial opportunities (such as modern day "Victory Gardens") in an increasingly oligarchic society.
This is what they look like after being poured and stripped of the framing.
They will be finished next week.
