13 hours today

What a Sunday. No day of rest here! We started at 1 pm and worked until 2 am. We thought we might be done with the grinding today, but we are still on the first of 6 grits! The levelling and shaping process takes a lot of time. Also, the concrete is somewhat harder now than during the first 10 days, so we are fighting that as well. It's hard because we can only grind when we are together, which leaves late at night and weekends. This was a lame weekend. We didn't go out at all or do anything fun.

Here is the kitchen in the middle of grinding. The tubs catch the water that runs down the tarps.


Here you can see the aggregate showing in the concrete. The back has been ground down more and the pebbles are larger.


Here is an ingenious water collection system C thought of. We have plastic taped to the openings. Water flows through a pinhole in the plastic into a bucket underneath.
