Working While Waiting For Trusses

We are ready to set the trusses but the trusses are not ready for another two weeks. Emil has started on some of the work in the old portion of the house and is doing a great job of keeping the project moving at a fast pace. All of the block and slab work is completed. He is forming the curved steps this week. They should be ready to pour next week.

Thoughts on stairs right now are to use white Portland cement with a pale brown color dye to yield a uniform color to match the travertine. Together with brass stair nosings, alum decorative handrails and a redwood top rail should look pretty good.
