It’s been a busy time getting the shop floor prepped for the concrete pour. About 20tons of gravel was brought in and levelled off. I then spent the better part of an evening running a compactor around and around getting everything packed down. HotRock insulation panels were put down followed by 2000’ of PEX and then about 100 pieces of rebar. Lots of time was spent by myself getting this all set and just right. The cement guys put in a couple of rebar spikes for height pins. They went in about 5” then stopped. Turns out I got the base compacted pretty good.

Today the guys showed up before 0630 to get ready for the concrete pour. The first truck rolled in at 7 and the last one left around 10am.

Finally the site supervisor wanted to come out of the house and take a look. After pointing at everything, he approved.
