Getting ready for the slab pour. We put in Ken's trench drains, which are pre-formed structures that get poured into place with the slab, and will hopefully end up capturing the water from carving stone and send this water and debris to a collection tank in the floor. After running through three different compartments we hope the mud will have settled out a bit.
We had the choice of one system that involved placing foam negatives in place, and then removing the foam after the pour. However, this would have created a significant amount of trash, and Ken is trying to keep from doing a single dump run during this project. That goal has been given a significant challenge by the concrete contractor. After pouring the stem wall and plinths he piled the forming lumber and plywood on the side of the property as he left. We thought about making him take it with, but realized forcing others to take our construction trash would be cheating. We are using the good wood to create other things and gradually throwing out the junk.
