Sept 25: Final Prep for Slab



The focus of the past week has been to complete all work in preparation for the pouring of the slab floor next week.

The exposed electrical, plumbing, and venting, to be located beneath the slab, receives approval from the on-site inspectors on Tuesday, Sept. 21st.

On Wednesday, Sept. 22nd, the first of three SIP roof deliveries arrives and is stored under tarps on-site.  

Each roof panel consists of expanded polystyrene sandwiched between an inside and outside skin of 7/16" thick oriented strandboard for a total panel thickness of 12-7/8".  The insulation R-value is 50.



After the utilities are covered, and the High Mass Storage Area is re-compacted, Shawn, an apprentice to our electrician, relocates the power conduit to the cooktop to provide enough space for the fan for the downflow vent, which will be located in the Kitchen island cabinet. 

Check the utilities twice and pour the slab once.
