Block, Stone, Insulation, Rough Plumbing

After the concrete footer cures for a day the corners are reset and readied for the masons. Delivery of block, sand and mortar comes next and then the masons arrive with their transit. They set up the corners and then pull distances to check set the two courses of block. One block is below grade and the other 8" block is to be filled with 4" of washed 3/4 " gravel. Three truckloads spread evenly to the 4" depth; checked with strings pulled tight from the top of block to block. After the stone is done the pluming locations are carefully marked. The plumber lays down tarps and digs to put in all the drain lines that connect to the sleeve under the footer on its way to the sewer. After putting pressure on the lines with a gauge in place, a request for in slab plumbing inspection is ordered.
