We think we’re finally done with everything we had to get done before concrete. The Glavel is in and compacted, the filter fabric is laid on top, and the Stego radon barrier is installed under the building slab. Every one of the 22 (!) conduits and pipes has been meticulously sealed with mastic.
Tomorrow morning our concrete contractor will form for the two slabs and add rebar, and concrete for the first slab is due at 10am. Fingers crossed!
I finally got a clean photo of the old Eureka Opera House (1880) and Jackson House Hotel in Eureka, Nevada. Usually there are vehicles parked in front. Too bad this wasn't in the evening with the lights on. The reflections on the wet pavement would have been awesome! Guess you gotta take what you can get!
Weird #plumbing issue. In warm weather, our toilet and drains sound hollow, gurgles, etc, when flushing or draining, like when the tub is drained. In the cold months, it is fine. Last year we had the system snaked 100%. No clogs–been an issue since we bought house in 2019.
I am thinking the warm weather, wind, etc is causing negative air pressure through the main roof plumbing vent
We’ve been making good progress on the build. All that’s left to do before concrete can be poured is install filter fabric and our radon barrier (15-mil Stego). But, rain has stopped play today and the concrete contractor is coming Tuesday so Monday is going to be busy!
On Friday we bought a rock bucket for the tractor which is a game changer for getting big rocks out of our soil before we backfilled.

@whitequark i am reading about it, and it's incredible the degree to which google engineers will fuck up "download and build firmware" at every opportunity
Good article from the Big Issue on the dearth of construction workers in the UK due to the pandemic and Brexit. One company has the answer. Pay people a decent wage while training and make jobs permanent.
