Basement Slab

Called for the rough in inspection so we could pour the slab.  I called the inspector the morning of (not the most personable guy) to see what time he would be coming as I wanted to make sure I was onsite in case I needed to do any quick modifications to prevent a failed inspection.  Luckily he was sending another guy who turned out to be super nice.  He gave me a 90min window and even told me one of the common reasons for failure - not wrapping the pipes with some type of barrier when they go through concrete (note - not in the code).  Thank goodness he told me and I ran out to get some insulation and wrapped around the drain pipes sticking up.

He showed up, inspected the gravel/vapor barrier and then went over to check the water level.  The 3" drain had 10' head and was topped off.  Everything passed and the pipes were holding water.

Slab pour was scheduled next morning at 6am and was expected to be beautiful weather.

Ended up having the same pump truck guy and we worked out a deal for payment that saved me a couple hundred - always good.  After 30 yards of mud, the guys worked for about 4-5 more hours doing the power trowel and edging.  Sure does look purty

The grading for the crawlspace is sloped nice but need to trim the Delta Drain.  I know this is overkill to put tar on walls and the Delta inside the crawlspace but I'm paranoid about water inside the basement.  $1000 is peace of mind.
