Chilis today...


Our builder called this afternoon. "Go look at the floor at the Chilis near Target," he advised. It is the same exact colored concrete floor we are looking to use. The usonians generally had a "Santa Fe Red" floor dyed to match the sunset of the desert where Frank Lloyd Wright built his second Taliesen.

The hostess was very nice, even after expending all that smile wattage on us only to find out we just wanted to look at her floor and leave. The floor is exactly the color we want.

The plumbing has been stubbed in, inspected and gravelled over. Now, if the Georgia rains can bypass our little town, we may see the insulation, chairs and webbing in anticipation of the radiant heating tubes which must be in place before the red concrete floor can be poured. The question there, is do they pour the upper level first, then the stairs and finally the lower great room area or do they pour the stairs first?
This is why we have a builder.
