Pink throne yard art at a friend of mine's place. There's a real, regular outhouse on the other side of the property that has the entire seating area bedazzled, with led strobe lights that turn on when you open the door. Fake edit: the trees are all mangled after the tornadoes that we had in NW Arkansas awhile back. It'll take some time to get back to where it was. (picture from the winter before last I think)
Little more progress this week. They spent some time getting mother-in-law's house moving so she's barely ahead of us now. Since hers is smaller I think it was more efficient for them to do what they could between the excessive heat days and kind of holding off for a longer period to do ours.
She's got plumbing and vapor barrier down, they'll target slab pour either tomorrow or Monday depending on weather. They need to finish off a couple of spots with some additional rebar, complete adding the dobies to the wire mesh, and tape a few more seams but she's coming along.
We should have plumbing done tomorrow and Saturday. They'll come through and spray dirt for termites, do vapor barrier, and we may be on schedule for slab pour end of next week depending on heat. They won't pour in > 100 degrees and that is day-to-day right now.
had plumbing done, conduit for island power, vapor barrier, rebar and mesh installed, shower form was added. That was end of last week, start of this week. Most of the under-slab plumbing are drains and clean outs. The recirc for hot water will be run through the 1st/2nd floor joists instead of underground. That way we don't lose heat to the earth acting like a big heat sink.
Then today they poured slab. It isn't supposed to break 100. Hoping everything sets well. We've got extra sprinklers to keep it wet, fiber strands were added to concrete, doing a couple extra relief / control joints. Will go back and take more photos once it is set and all.
Thought it was cool how they lay out the lines for the pour, and here on the back porch you can see it is slightly sloped away from the house.
