More flooring, more deck pavers.

The deck pavers sit on small piers that are of varying heights to accommodate the slope of the concrete.  Concrete is sloped for drainage, finished deck is of course level.  Water drains between the pavers and off the deck.  Pavers are loose but they are heavy.

First two are east deck, which is done.



South deck, in progress.


Flooring, west end of house.  There are plywood spacers against the walls where aluminum louvers will be installed over heating vents.  Plywood will come out and aluminum will go in.

This is the aluminum shoe that the glass deck rail sits in.  The opposing wedges that hold it in place are inside the shoe so they aren't seen.  I am looking forward to seeing how this is done.

First three photos are the first small pile of flooring, and work starting on layout.  There are sight lines that run most of the length of the house and they want the floor to align "perfectly" the entire length.  Lots of laser sighting gadgets and chalk string..
