We think we’re finally done with everything we had to get done before concrete. The Glavel is in and compacted, the filter fabric is laid on top, and the Stego radon barrier is installed under the building slab. Every one of the 22 (!) conduits and pipes has been meticulously sealed with mastic.
Tomorrow morning our concrete contractor will form for the two slabs and add rebar, and concrete for the first slab is due at 10am. Fingers crossed!

We’ve been making good progress on the build. All that’s left to do before concrete can be poured is install filter fabric and our radon barrier (15-mil Stego). But, rain has stopped play today and the concrete contractor is coming Tuesday so Monday is going to be busy!
On Friday we bought a rock bucket for the tractor which is a game changer for getting big rocks out of our soil before we backfilled.

Our tractor struggles a little to lift the 800lb bags of Glavel high enough with the top handles. We had to get a little creative to first lift the bags off their pallets, then lower them onto a pallet we had cut the center out of, allowing us to open the chute underneath.
