More Slab Work

Its been a very busy summer, but I was able to get some time away from work to finish putting in the waste lines that are under the slab.  I did not get any pictures of this process, but I had a plumber look at what I did and he gave me the thumbs up.

Once the sanitary drains were in place, it was time to move the sand around and level it with the forms.  Using strings stretched from side to side and a 8 foot board cut to the right depth for a screed I moved the sand around within the frame and leveled it up as best I could.  Next it will need to be packed and then the grade beams need to be dug out, re-bar put into them, vapor barrier placed down, styrofoam laid out, wire mesh plopped down and pex pipe draped across the whole according to its heat zones.  All that will need to be placed and then the cement can be put on.

Before that though, I need to get my cousins skid steer and move some sand I have in a nearby pile around and build up the edges around the form to keep the slab from blowing out the sides when it is poured.
