Yesterday morning I woke in pain and spent time bashing my hips and thighs with the Theracane to try and alleviate some of the pain. the muscle relaxer helped as well. Then after a productive weekly session I was at the flooring job again. It was a busy morning as there were a few of us working. Plumber, drain cleaner, myself for flooring, and Camille was doing the last painting. I was able to work on the baseboards and last bit in the one closet to stay mostly out of other's way.
I had to lay concrete patch over a low spot which was able to dry and set quickly so I didn't have to worry about avoiding it for a long time.
I pulled the baseboard from the one bedroom to use in the smaller and got both rooms done.
It was 1pm when I was able to start on the hallway. The office has the bathroom attached which is still in full rebuild so this was my only option to continue. I hung the doors on the two bedrooms as well.
Nicely the hallway only took an hour in all.
With the subfloor being concrete there was only the option of gluing the thresholds down with caulk. Trying to fasten the metal retainer bar to it would not have been easy and likely wouldn't have worked even with concrete nails.
It was 4pm when I was able to get the office started and was nicely surprised that it took me an hour and a half to get installed all except the closet which I will do first thing this morning. Baseboards will go in then the last room of the job will be the laundry room.
The bathroom has lots still needing to be done so I hope to be able to get the laundry room finished while the other contractors do their thing. The tenants are quite pleased with how it is coming out and the owner is happy with it as well. 15 hours into the job I still have another 5 or so today. All labor, very little materials supplied from me. I also have a couple small sections to finish like to the base of the stairs and then thresholds. Camille has supplied more than enough flooring and baseboard so it is just working out the install.
Back to the job this morning and I hope to be done earlier than yesterday. This is the most hours put towards a job since starting my business and my first official as a contractor. I am quite sore still this morning but the Theracane helps a good bit. I have a task tomorrow for one of my main clients to install the other cat door then am putting off the continued work for another until next week. I want a few days off since I am not having time to ride.
