This past week a major milestone in the house construction passed when the contractor who did our foundation finally arrived with his three cement trucks to finish our floors. From early morning till later that evening the crew worked nonstop, pouring cement over the PEX tubing I had laid out on the three floors as well as the patio below the deck - 1 1/2 inches in the mezzanine and main floor and 4 inches in the basement and patio. We were impressed with the final results and once we could walk over the cement to check the air pressure in the manifolds on each floor for any leaks in the tubing very relieved to find out everything went smoothly and none of the tubing had been punctured! Now at last we can finish putting up the remaining walls, install the electrical wiring and complete the radiant floor system! gws
