A large crew came in to work on the slab. Radiant heat tubes snake through the rebar.
Concrete is pumped in - the 10" x 10" timbers are wrapped for protection.
Smoothing out the concrete is a long process requiring much patience and finesse.After the heating tubes, roughed-in plumbing and electricity passed inspection, we had more than a week of fierce weather with rain and winds gusting to 50 mph, snapping and ripping the tarps, requiring constant attention and frequent pumping to protect the area. Needless to say, with all that noise and worry, Erik got little sleep. Finally, the weather broke long enough for the slab to be poured. The concrete pump truck returned and the pour began early in the morning.
