WE HAVE CONCRETE [video]
This step of the journey is such a thrill. We have waited such a long time for this! Having our plans literally set in stone makes it finally so real.
When the concrete crew came to set forms, they found bear tracks on the house site! This is legit country life, folks, and it’s amazing.
After the forms were set it was fun to see for ourselves and show the kids how our house will be laid out.
We are doing finished concrete floors, so we had the house portion of the pour tinted with the Solomon Colors tone “Earthen”. We also had the 6 foot saw cuts put in at 45° angles. I have been told (warned?) many, many times that concrete is tricky and unpredictable when it comes to the final product and how it will look, but that actually just makes me more obsessed with the character of it, and so far I am very pleased with how warm it looks without it being orange. I can’t wait to see how it looks all finished.
