Things have been progressing quickly this week.
Nick from Artistic Concrete Creations stained the basement floor and it turned out great. I haven't been able to walk out on it yet, but from what I see from the edge it looks good. The pics have a bit of glare from the lights, but it's not as shiny as the pics look. We went with a stain product from WestCoat called Fast Stain, it's not as eco as the water based stained, but not as toxic as the traditional acid stains. We opted for this over the water based due to numerous people telling us the water base ones just don't cut it.
The boiler for hot water and radiant floor heat is almost ready to go. The HVAC guy is waiting for one part and we should have it all together next week.
Scimitar construction has been out grading and prepping for the driveway pour. Today they finished up all the forms for the driveway and walkway to the front door.
The interior doors arrived late this afternoon too. We went with 5 panel solid wood door from Simpson, we chose a Redi-Prime finish that we can paint as we thought that stained wood would clash a bit with the dark wood flooring. Tomorrow we start installing them, but they probably won't get painted for some time.
Here are some pics.
