Over the past week we worked on our shop and got it ready for in-floor heat and concrete floor. Monday through Thursday we laid insulation and ran the pipe for in-floor heat and on Friday we had concrete trucks come and we laid the floor. I have never been in on a concrete floor that wasn't mixed in a wheel barrel, it was kind of a chaotic shit-show! Luckily we had tons of help all week; both of my sisters, my mom and dad, some of our amazing friends that were visiting from Wisconsin and of course, Zack and I and our little mascot, Luke!
We have had record breaking heat here in Alaska over the past week, were talking 80 degrees every day for over a week! We have been loving it. Since it has been so nice, we wanted to do something outside all weekend, so Saturday Charley (my sister), Luke, and I took our friends from Wisconsin fishing and Sunday the whole crew went floating down the river. We try to float the river at least once every summer, we make a whole day of it, take lots of food and beer and float for about 5 hours.
In other news, a few months ago Zack and I noticed a few discolored spots on our ceiling in the basement, we checked them out and felt them but it didn't look like there was any water damage, it just was a slightly yellow color, so we kind of forgot about them. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago, we noticed another yellowed spot, but this one was in our kitchen, so we called the plumber to check them out. Turns out, we have three separate leaks in our in-floor heat. UGH!! The plumber figured out that, when the flooring guys were installing subfloor in the bathrooms and laundry room, their staples were too long and punctured the in-floor heat tubes. Unfortunately, to fix this problem, the plumber had to cut holes in our ceiling. It's a bummer, but at least it was caught before it got worse.
