\"\"<\/a>The rain was constant all morning until just before the concrete arrived from Salmon Bay Sand & Gravel<\/a>.\u00a0 Dan and his crew placed all the concrete\"\"<\/a> for the footing of the workshop and began forming for the insulated slab.\u00a0 Trenching for the utilities began and will continue on Monday with an inspection scheduled for Tuesday.\u00a0 The foam starts going in on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

I have added a link to the links section on the right side of the page that contains some video of the project.\u00a0 Be sure to check back for my next installment on thermal bridges and why this insulated foundation is one of the key Passive House elements.\u00a0 If you would like to be notified of updates to the blog, please use the subscribe button on the right side of this page.<\/p>\n
