Working on the floors


These are a few images from my floor framing and beginning the process of my tile floors.  I finished the framing yesterday, November 27th and I made the wood base to put my tiles on today.

My plan for the next couple of days is to put all of tiles on my floor, make the storage room and the bathroom out of wood and begin framing the roof after all of that is completed.  

The results from pouring

Here are my concrete walls after the formwork has been taken off.  It was a hard process removing the formwork, but it was well worth the efforts.  I am happy with the way my walls came out.  They are very smooth because of the contact paper that I lined my formwork with.  My only concern is the discoloration from where I had multiple pours.  Over time they seem to be evening out, but I hope it gets even more even before the due date.  

Pouring my concrete walls






Starting from the first picture, these are pictures from when I poured my concrete walls.  I began by making the formwork and then poured the cement into the forms and clamped them to prevent bowing.  

Step One

This is the first step of the 1"=1' model.  Here I am showing the contour lines of the site without any cut outs from where my house will be.

This is my most recent rendering of my ArchiCAD model.  I am now beginning the construction process now that the design phase is over.
