Preparing the slab


After several delays, our bank loan was finally approved. We broke ground on May 24, 2009... and so the marathon begins!

Our slab is formed-up, leveled and gravel is compacted.








This was our first "Oh-Oh!" moment. We have had a veeeery raaaaainy summer and we spent way too much time pumping water away from the slab. But, we got through it with a certain amount of patience.


Here are our friendly plumbers roughing in our pipes.




Things are moving along. Here we installed the vapour barrier, insulation, rebar and mesh.


Our happy crew of two are feeling some accomplishment!


















The cement pour is soon... will the baby wait?! :)
