Building continues to roll along with the Bauer residence in Hickory Hills. We had some rain this week to slow things up a bit, but the rafters are up on both ends of the house, and the roof trusses are being delivered tomorrow for the center section of the home. Late last week we poured the retaining wall for the right side garage, so as soon as the ground dries up we will start the backfill in that area. Tidwell concrete poured the lower patio on Monday, and saw cut it Tuesday to look like large tile squares. We used a salt-finish on the concrete that gives it the appearance of slate tiles with small pits throughout, and next week we will stain and seal the concrete to give it a finished appearance. Now that the patio is complete, we can start building up to the upper deck/patio. We also started bringing our large antique 12x12 beams to the jobsite to be prepped for installation - what a difference a wire brush and power sander make on these!!! Things should really start to shape up next week as the center roof of the house goes up, the right side garage will be built, and we will start bringing up framing for the back patio. This weekend is the Springfield HBA Home Show at the downtown expo center, we are planning on attending all 3 days with some current clients and perspective clients, should be lots of fun, and there is some great information and ideas there every year.
