Looks like your guys did a real nice job.

I see you did not get to use that new R2 laser screed. That looks like the type project you could try it out on.......if you can get a demo unit.

Nice work!

I was wondering when you were gonna post up. Keep the pics coming. I don't know beans about that type of construction, so keep your posts dummied down for guys like me.

Dear Joasis,
Aren't you required to chair the remesh above the sand so that some concrete flows under it? Aren't you required to place poly vapor barrier under your slabs in Oklahoma? Are you required to pressure test pex heating pipes prior to pouring.
Thanks, Ed.

Jay, coming along nicely. Any renderings of the final product?

No, no, and no. My house, my discretion.

Chairs are hardly ever used, and when placing the concrete, the mesh is lifted.

Vapor barriers are rarely, if ever used on residentials in Oklahoma.

And my radiant system is experiemental, and installed by myself. No test needed.

Just in my head. Remember, I tried to talk you into doing a sketh up of it.

This weekend, garage roof and safe room.

[joasis]

The south wall of the house, 20 feet tall. Notice the stamped concrete needing to be power washed and sealed.

[joasis]

Updates. If the rain quits today (Oklahoma weather!), we will finish up the projection and install the rest of the windows. Working only when time allows has made this a long process.

[joasis]

A few more.

[joasis]

A few more. By the way, did I say it is getting hot here?

[joasis]

A few updates, while the masons are at work.

[joasis]

A few more views, including a cloese up of the pattern, and a look at the antique bricks I salvaged years back....all over 100 years old...work great with the Acme Brenner Pass that are the new brick.

[joasis]

And, a few from the inside. HVAC is roughed in, upstairs and down, next the plumber will be back.

[joasis]

If any of you want to ask, yes, the sequence is kind of backwards....but the soffits and trim will finish after the brick...since a lot of this is design as I go work.

One last pic today, my wife helping me set ceiling joists a few weeks ago.

[duburban]

Yeah... Brick and Metal! I really enjoy this thread. This looks great! I'll be waiting for the feature in dwell magazine.

[joasis]

The masons are about done with the bay side of the house...a few detail picture showing the mix of old and new brick.

Looks great J.
