Update

Last week I worked my butt off cutting and swinging a 20lb sledgehammer. I pulled the 4" pipe that was embedded in the concrete and went back with a 3" since this is only for the floor drains and some sinks + I didn't want to cut anymore crete. Mr. Inspector wanted the pipe sleeved where it went through or under the footing....I should have known that. I ran the 3" through a 6" schedule 40 PVC pipe to outside of the form board. Here is the final result.....dang I needed a hot tub last Saturday night.

I also moved the 4" sewer pipe for the apartment and second floor bathroom over 2' so that it is in the "dirt" now instead of in the concrete. This one also got sleeved in the footer/turndown portion of the mono. The inspector didn't like how I ran it even though I had it supported with rebar and wire. The first pic shows how it was run and the 2nd is how it will be.

I hope to finish the apartment side tomorrow and schedule an inspection for the first part of next week.

You’re getting it now! Anytime I’m in the middle of a big project (not as big as you’ve got) I keep reminding myself it’ll be all worth it in the end! Or just think how much you’re saving by doing it yourself! Keep digging! Looking good!

Buy Mr. Inspector a bottle of his Fav brew and put a couple $100's in an unmarked envelope and see if his attitude improves.

2 months later....

Rain. It does nothing but rain every week. We are 17" above normal for the year and it rained today.

I passed the plumbing inspection and I also passed the mono slab inspection.

I've put a shit load of steel in this sucker. I'm now at 7000 lbs of #4/grade 60 rebar in it. I ran another 2 sticks of rebar in the turndown and 3 sticks in each of the grade beams, 4 sticks in area that the wall sets on separating the shop/apartment. The flat part of the slab is a 1' grid.

Check out the floor drains in the shop. 4' long, 12" wide and 6" deep.

Crete-heat time....

Here in Georgia it is against code to put any type of insulation under the slab. I did find some type of insulation that may have passed but it was around $1500 and had an R value of 1....basically worthless.

I opted for 1/2" Viega oxygen barrier Pex to put in the concrete. I thought long and hard about putting the cheaper stuff in the concrete but I knew this was a 1 shot deal and chose the American made Viega.

I'm running the pex on top of or next to the rebar..I hope this isn't an issue down the road.

I will have 2 zones that are made up of 6 loops in the shop and probably 3 in the MIL apartment.

I hope that it will dry up enough so that I can get the concrete poured before the end of the year.

Stay tuned for more pics....

Oak your doing a great job and saving a ton of money. I built my home with the assistance of my father and father in-law. I spent every available free minute I had for nearly two years completing it, but in the end only had a small ten year mortgage. A word of caution, the day I poured and finished by basement floor was by far the hardest day I ever worked.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
