kitchen and living room floors




Our of the first four rooms we tackled we decided to made three of them concrete.  This made it posible to have radiant heat.  Plus, the wood floors were pretty ruff.  Most of them were laying on 'muertos', flat boards layed on top of a once adobe floor.  We found lots of marbles and rats nests.  We returned the marbles to the man who as a child shot them down a hole in the floor, he was happy to get them back after all these years.  We did that demolition the winter of 2005 and it was cold.  We worked most all days all hours and ate lots of green chile pizza.  Before the concrete we layed insulation, tubing, and then the rebar.  Richard Gonzales and sons poured the floor for us and did a great job, they have been friends ever since.
