Preparation for concrete

It's been a busy week! The goal is to pour the concrete slab on Thursday. There was plenty of prep work to accomplish before that could happen though. Here are some photos from Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. It's great to see so much progress in 3 days. It's been a hot and windy week for the guys working out there...

The fill was delivered on Monday.

The steel beams for the garage were delivered Monday as well.

The sections of the sidewalk where the driveway will be were removed.

Trenches were dug in the fill for the plumbing, floor drains and in-floor heat tubing.

The manifold for the in-floor heat downstairs.

The steel went up on Tuesday. Looks like quite the entrance way! The garage will not fall down...(once we have a ceiling and some walls around it of course)

Andy in his garage (well in the trench that will be filled in with concrete to make the garage floor)

Wednesday was another busy day with the concrete floor crew preparing for the area and Ted working on the in-floor heat for the game room. Kip and Steve were busy keeping track of everything.

We watched from above as Ted and Kip worked on installing the Pex tubing for the in-floor heat in the game room. They were laying out the tubing and attaching it to the wire grid that was placed on top of the insulation blankets.

A few more things to finish up in the morning before they can pour the slab!
