Update 12/19/07:
Driveway apron was finished over the weekend...LA City has specific codes for the construction of residential driveway aprons that cost almost half of my entire driveway (bricks and concrete). This includes pulling the $500 permit, inspections, LA City specified utility cover and box for the water meter, and a special concrete mixed to LA City specs. What a pain, but the concrete amigos pulled through with some awesome work.
The pour...
Floating and removal of forms...
Final light brooming. You can see the "rotary" pattern trowled into the apron as specified by the City. These guys did a great job and we celebrated the holidays a few days early with some Coronas and some stories from LA Central Jail afterwards.
And the addition is just about to wrap up. Shower and toilet have been installed. Here's the reason for that little outlet near the throne...
Do a google search on the "toto washlet" for more info. I have to get used to this. This is the pic of the remote.
Trick temperature control valve for the shower...
Shower and tub with fresh steam. We're waiting on countertops.
How the office turned out...
Our contractor and his subs have been super cool and entertaining throughout the entire process. Really a no-hassle remodel that accomplished everything we set out to do with hardly any compromises. Shoot me a PM if you'd like a referral for any big projects.
Next update will be in a little bit as we clean out the garage, paint, install the rest of the roofing tiles, and finally get my epoxy floor down.
Happy Holidays!
