Konkos, Pt. 2

Laying down cement in the garage was a two-part process, given that the rear-end was to be elevated and converted into a laundry room. First step, a single layer of the grey stuff from back to front:

It was then given a couple of days to harden before cordoning off the inside with bricks. After filling up the space with some filler material, back came the cement truck for another round:

There were some things to consider before and during the whole process. First off, plastic membrane was fitted on the walls given that the cement (and eventually the tiles) were going to go above the tar line. This wasn't an issue for the laundry room since there is a second, higher tar line which was going to be left exposed. Second, the top layer of bricks would have to subsequently be sawed off to align with the level of the cement. And third, we could finally add steps leading to and from the garage:

We still need to add a step or two to lead into the laundry. This will be done after the tiles and gypsum wall are done, so that the steps are aligned with the sliding pocket door.

Still a lot of work to be done here, but at least no more intrusive thoughts of concrete lovers.

Hello again.
