Tucson Winter - (day 18)

1/7/14 (Tuesday) - Warm and little bit cold, feel like 62

Wake up around 10 a.m. again, have Raisin Bran with milk for breakfast. Then I walk outside and clean up all the lose blue tarp which was covering the top of our storage. While I was working on the blue tarp, Tom told me a concrete man is going to come over to give us an estimate in an hour. Tom called Craiglist to find this concrete man. He (Robert Gaither; concrete man) comes over with his wife and son in the white truck. Tom told him that 24’x25’concrete slab, 4” thick with smooth float. Robert told us 3500 PSI Mix with concrete joints, should be able to support a regular RV. But Tom asks Robert to put maximum PSI, which will be 4000 and told us $70 more on the totals price. We agree with this price and he told us the whole job will cost us $1500, no down payment, full balance when job is done. He told us this is one day job. He can come on 1/9 or 1/10. We both think that it may be raining on 1/9 (Thursday). After he left we have the left over from the Rodolfo’s (Taco place) for lunch. Then we went to the shed to measure the floor area, because Tom wants to buy the vinyl tile to cover the floor. Also Tom needs to buy roof patch and fiberglass tape to seal the crack on top of the storage. We want to add 6 sheet of 42 in x 84 in mesh sheet to embed in our concrete pad. When we are in Lowe’s we were looking for the iron mesh sheet, the price is $7.58/ea and we buy 6 sheet. Then we look for vinyl tile design, at first we pick the one piece wood grain design. But it cost too much ($.88/ea x 126 = 126.72 + $12.97 special primer). So we pick the cheaper one cost $.38/ea x 126 = $47.88 + 12.97 special primer). Since we just use them for the shed floor, we don’t want to spend too much money. Tom is not sure what to do with the edge wrinkle up on the roof, we were talking to Chris (supervisor on Lowe’s which he knows a lot about roofing), he suggest to Tom that we should only need to use the roof patch cement and the foundation coating (which we already bought and put it on). But Tom told Chris that he does not like the edge wrinkle up, then Chris suggest to Tom to use the rubber cement patch $19.99/gallon. We left the story and went directly home. We have rib-eyes steak with Potato for dinner.
