One More Layer of Complexity

The final layer of PEX was laid yesterday and is the last layer of detail before the pour. The PEX will carry hot water for heat and is added to a similar layer of PEX at the bottom of this heat sink (5' down), and it joins layers of wire, rebar, electrical conduit, plumbing, sensors, table vaults, insulation, and compacted sand. Yesterday the electrical inspection for the conduit was passed (plumbing passed some weeks ago). The pour is now scheduled for next week for certain. two possible glitches are the weather and running out of PEX for the final "cooling" leg in the outdoor covered area. PEX turns out to be very difficult to locate and to purchase without going through a licensed plumber. And the weather, well, it is a strange spring here in the NW.
