The framing contractors from KC Construction have been busy putting in the subfloor. The pieces of plywood are tongue and grove so they fit snugly together. They have this cool attachment for their power drill to screw the boards to the joists.

They have also been building the stairs. Once they are done it will be much easier (and safer) to access the basement.

Today we went to Peninsula Building Materials to purchase a beige colored travertine tile sample. We'll use this material for the lower courtyard as well as the back patio.

Also, this morning I got an email from Paul at Adanac Fire Protection with a quote for the sprinkler system.
