Ready To Pour?

We had some rain move through the area throughout the morning. No heavy rain however and it did not slow down John and Tim who had returned to work on the radiant floor heating system. Intermittently, it would clear off before the next wave of clouds rolled in.

This morning I realized that before we pour the floors in the garage and the sunroom, we were to have a termite treatment done. I have mentioned repeatedly to "Our" Mike that the pest control company requested at least 48 hours notice before the floors were poured. Yesterday, Mike said he was going to schedule the pouring to be done next week. We have already covered the sunroom floor with the radiant heating system. I called Mike and reminded him. He said he does not have a firm date of the pour, but he expected it to be toward the middle of next week. He agreed to my calling the pest control company and give them notice.

I called the pest control company and they said they could inject their stuff through the insulation covering the ground in the sunroom. The company is scheduled to be here Saturday to do the treatment. Frank's crew (John and Tim) said they would plug the holes in the insulation made due to the injections.

John and Tim completed the floor tubing in the sunroom. All the connections are not completed in the basement, but Tim said they would be back tomorrow. They still have to pressure test the circulation loop before we bury it in concrete. They left just after noon saying a City Inspector should be around later today to look at their work. The Inspector arrived shortly after 2:00 pm. Looked at the tubing grid and said "OK". I wonder what it takes to be a City Inspector?



We also had a different electrician show up today. It appears he ran permanent electrical connections for the hot water heater and the boiler for the radiant floor system. Since the hot water heater was installed last fall, we have just been supplying power using an extension cord. We still have a lot of electrical work to completed.



I somewhat expected to hear from Patrick today since Frank said he was going to call him. But no.
