We have pipe....

Two posts...one day...we've set a new record. In addition to the earlier post today, the plumbers were able to come out and get all the rough in plumbing done in one day. Additionally, we got two calls from our builder today and neither of them cost us more money. Tomorrow the city is coming out to inspect the plumbing. UPDATE 11/21 : We got a green sticker from the City of Houston...we passed the plumbing rough in! Woo Hoo! If you look very close, you can see our lime green tag on the tallest pipe in the picture on the left...Sandi is standing in what will be the back of the garage. The foundation company will continue their work preparing the rebar and getting ready to lay the slab. Gail told us today that we should have a slab in the next few days. The other pic is of the rebar that will go in the poured slab beams. Barring, weather delays, we'll be having P.O.T.S. (Party On The Slab) next week sometime. According to Gail we are currently 5 days ahead of schedule. Our ICF (insulated concrete form) contractor has scheduled to have his materials arrive on 11/26...and should be getting started shortly thereafter. As a side note, our neighbor Lauren loaned Gail some juice for her laptop. A very simple but generous expression. OVERALL MOOD TODAY: Thumbs UP!

I wanted to put at least one post on our blog...even if it was from me.
