Finally, a floor

Before we could pour our floor we had to place all the drain lines, place the PEX water lines, bury the water and telephone lines, level the area with stone, cover it all with two-inch-thick polyurethane insulation, distribute the radiant heat water lines, and place the rebar.

Here's the result of all those steps awaiting the concrete pump and trucks. The extra thick piers are visible where the insulation doesn't show. We decided not to place radiant heat in the two small guest rooms. For those few times they will be used when the sun doesn't heat them, we will use a portable heater.

The pump has started pushing concrete to the farthest corner of the building.

Just the rest of the large room and the master bedroom to go. The pump shuts down between truckloads of concrete. The tube can be seen hanging to the left.

Ta da! Now we wait for it all to set, the crew will cut some slots in the morning, and the floor will be finished.
