Prepping the basement floor

An insulation-lined wood frame was constructed around the pad to form the concrete slab during the concrete pour. The radon tubing, drainage pipes, and the fuel line have already been installed within the gravel pad. The black pipes sticking out of the ground will eventually hook up to fixtures and appliances in the house.


Insulation is placed over the gravel and rebar forms a grid that will strengthen the conctrete slab. The radiant floor tubing is affixed to the insulation with simple plastic push staples to hold it in place as the concrete is poured over them.

Max does a final inspection before the conctrete trucks arrive in the morning.
