You would think that with all of the rain we had this week, we would have had a chance to catch up on this blog! I'll try to give a quick rundown of what has happened in the last week and a half.




As most of you know by now, Dwayne installed all of the rough plumbing in the basement. Here is a picture of the pipes after they have covered back over with gravel.









After a lot of red tape, we decided to forego the plumbing inspection- a benefit (?) of being farmstead exempt. Dwayne pressure tested all of the pipes and the system checked out perfectly. Charlie is stubbing up the main drain from the house in preparation for the pressure test.







Dwayne and Charlie rolling out the Insultarp. This tarp will provide insulation under the basement slab and well as help reflect the heat upward from the radiant floor tubing.








Wire mesh goes down over the tarp. This helped to hold the tarp down and keep it from blowing away during the storms we have had this week. We will also attach the radiant floor tubing to the wire mesh before the basement slab is poured.
