More recovery today

Today I still felt sick, and C was still really sore. So, not much happened today. We hope to get a late night work session in at least once this week on the countertops so we can finish sooner. It's really hard to work on alone, so we're limited to times when we are both here. C works a lot of hours, so that doesn't leave much time. There is one step in the finish process that requires a two-day wait, so we hope to be done that step by Thursday so we can work on Saturday. We may have to do that step twice as well. It's a patching process called slurrying, in which you use a patching mixture to fill all the tiny airholes in the concrete that the grinding revealed.

One setback from today - the contractor is working on the second (and final) coat of stucco patching. He discovered that the first coat was done with the wrong material. All 13 windows (and one opening for a moved window) need to be chipped out and redone. Some even had the final coats on already. What a bummer. He still expects to be done by the end of the week though.
