Pouring the Flooring

So there we were in mid-November with frigid cold temperatures, snow on the ground, and not much of a house.

Anyone who has dealt much with concrete knows that it can't be poured much below freezing.  The mix is about 20 percent water, and if it freezes... you're screwed.  So after waiting through a record cold week in November, we had to just go for it and keep things moving.

Rough Plumbing and Prepping the Slab Pour

So as you've probably figured out by now, our house is gonna be a little different than most.  With Superior Walls foundation and slab-on-grade construction, we had to run most of our plumbing beneath the slab.  Once the slab is poured, there's no changing things, so it has to be perfect.
