The rest of the floor!

So this weekend we are laying the tubing for the rest of the floor. This requires more use of the orange tamping machine. However this time I got to run it! Which is why there are no lovely pictures of me working hard. It also required this laser level. NOT my best friend tonight. 

Curt would used the level to make sure the rocks were all at a uniform hight so the insulators would have an easier time laying the insulation. Which meant a lot of tamping and raking of rocks. He did seem to be a bit nit picky about this.

While I was doing that, Curt had to build a box for the fire place. Since it's needs a deeper concrete base then the rest of the floor. First he had to dig out all the rocks.

Then build the frame.

Place the frame in the hole and get it all even.

Apparently there was a warped piece of wood making the whole job a bit longer and frustrating than it should, requiring him to sit on the box to strap it down. This causing him to tell me his "buns were not up for that workout tonight". Which of course made me laugh and take a picture.
