Thursday we put down an inch of extruded foam because the gravel had settled a bit more than we expected. Monday the in-floor heat contractor will put two more inches of foam and staple the radiant heat tubing to it. When the tubing is down we can finally pour the basement floor and get on with the first floor decking. When the first floor is done we will have a working surface for building the second wall pour which is the walls for the first floor.

The wells will be pressurized and watched as they backfill the trenches to ensure there were no punctures.

The carpenter team came by today put up the LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) for the first floor. These beams support the floor trusses along with some internal load bearing walls to be built after the concrete footings and floor are poured.

These are small pieces of the large rock I told you about before. These are a little bigger than a loaf of bread and there are smaller fist size ones too. The main rock is about the size of a kitchen table!
