Things have really been moving along with the new house construction. Most of the drainage plumbing has been stubbed in for under the slab. Almost all of the water supply "pipes" (actually tubing) will run through the walls or first floor ceiling. Next they had to fill in the interior of the house with gravel and dig out the interior footings for the support walls, fireplace. Then 2 inches of foam board insulation was fit over the gravel. Next a plastic vapor barrier was applied over that. Finally a four inch thickness of concrete was poured this Friday morning.
Tamping the gravel and applying foam board insulation (R-10)
The first of many concrete trucks, a truck was scheduled for every thirty minutes, I can't remember how many cubic yards of concrete, I think 36 ???
The next day we had our first floor completed, the framers started some work, but the studs were not delivered so they were limited in what they could do. They did mark off all the inside walls so we could get a feel for the layout and size of the rooms. This house feels "just right"!!
