Okay, it has been several weeks since I posted anything on this project, here we go.
I passed my plumbing inspection at the end of October and the inspector seemed real happy with everything.
I had to haul in about 8 tons of 57 stone (4 trips to the rock quarry) because it has been too wet to get a dump truck in. I spread the gravel out on the ground (not needed to meet code here). I then place 10mil plastic over the stone, overlapped it pretty good and taped it. (6mil is required by code here).
I then built the floor drain forms and set them to 1.25" below the top of the form boards. I don't want a lot of slope but just enough to hose the floor down when needed.
.......and then it rained about 2.5" on Saturday December 1st and I pumped water the next day.....and then it rained another 2" of rain on the following Saturday and I pumped water again on Sunday.
Today I had some guys come in and do my rebar on the slab area. I did all the grade beams and column pads myself but it's taking too long, the days are too short and did I say it rains way too much.
I had them run the bars on 1' centers so I can attach my oxygen barrier pex pipe to them for the slab heat.
As always, let me know if something doesn't look right or if there is something that I'm missing.
More pics to come as it goes and TIA.
