Concrete Floors

Today was cold and wet, a good day to get out of the trailer, so we drove north to Cumbermere  with our builder to inspect a home he built last year.

Mary was particularly interested in the finish of the concrete floor. This is an issue she wants resolved before we hire a contractor to do the work. She was happy with what she saw.

The floor has a lovely patina to it and is much smoother than it looks.


Radiant heating is wonderfult but it wasn't on when we visited since the owners only come up on the weekends.

Something you don't see but we could feel walking in our socks was how cold an unheated concrete floor is. It really makes you feel cold. Hope the opposite is true.


The kitchen sink caught our eye and we liked the size and depth of it.


Tomorrow our roofer arrives if the weather co-operates. Check back in a few days for new pictures.
