U of L glass furnace rebuild-
University of Louisville Glass students rebuilding the furnaces at the Cressman Center under the direction of Eddie and Phil from Wet dog Glass. Three days of building from start to finish.
Replacement of wood floor with suspended concrete radiant slab. This took me 16months working completely alone. Two exceptions: I had help lifting a 370# steel beam into place. A couple of friends helped me on the first day of pex layout for a few hours until I realized I could actually do it on my own. I hired pros to help place and finish the concrete. Completed Thanksgiving 2013. You may have to pause the video to read some of the captions. Apologies for the poor quality. Thanks to: Peyton, Chad, Joe & Peggy, Eric, Brook, Emily, and Kingscrete
