Concrete on Wednesday

Plumbing is complete and passed the inspection last week. The concrete company has been out on our property since last Thursday, preparing for concrete. They have cleaned up the footings and pushed dirt against the form boards on the outside of the house. They've been working fast and it looks great . . . but, they broke our plumbing pipe in two places, relocated our electrical conduit, cut a gash in our hose, crushed our water meter housing, tore up our insulation, and when they tried to fix the plumbing pipe themselves - they made the pipe stub up outside the wall. Oops . . . they did their job well, but were just a little rough. Adam and I spent some time this past weekend trouble-shooting and confirming dimensions.

They are completing the preparations for the concrete today - putting down rebar and visqueen, and digging a bit more. Termite treatment also went down today. We have our slab inspection scheduled for tomorrow and will pour concrete Wednesday! We can't wait to have a picnic on our new slab! Here's a couple pictures:
