Slab Preparation

Today the work was almost finalized for pouring of the slab. The iron rebar was set and most of the plastic safety caps were put on top of it. The soil was treated for termites. A plastic vapor barrier was put on top of the ground with the seams taped. Then electrical conduit was put on top of the vapor barrier for the electrical circuits for the Great Room floor outlet, the power to the Kitchen island (as it is not adjacent to a wall), and to the posts in the Lanai.

I have two issues to be resolved before the pour. First, the electrical conduit for my special circuit for our hot tub comes from the wrong location. It is supposed to be from a visible disconnect on the rear of the house, and at least 5' from the hot tub location. This is not the way the conduit was run.

Also, there is a load bearing pier between the Master Bedroom Closet and the Master Bathroom. Unfortunately, the plumbers ran pipe through this location and the way it is rigged though the pier looks very strange. I've asked if it is per code. Also, my private inspector will be out tomorrow and I'll also ask him.

I was told that the two taped wires near my water meter were originally for a street light that Pringle now does not intend to install. Tomorrow I'll make sure they are fully disconnected.
