Brick

The brick masons started yesterday and finished about 80% of the job in one day. We will need a concrete base poured before the brick front steps and brick mailbox can be done. The masons have the wall on the front of the garage, the last row on the back of the house, the front steps, mailbox, and the walls on either side of the garage door opening left to complete the work. We had rain today and I don't think they worked because of the weather.

The drywall contractors called this morning and finally got back out on the job. We are at two weeks now since materials were delivered and the finishing just started today.

Once I can get the electrical ground inspection done we will have the excavator fill in the trenches in the yard and level things out. After that work is complete the concrete work will begin.

Paul Miller (Steelers fan - even has a tatoo!) is doing the garage, driveway, base for the steps, walkway, and base for the mailbox. He does detailed work with etching on the edges, uses expansion joints to prevent cracks, and is reasonably priced as well. He prefers to do the entire job in one day.
