07-16-2010: Plumbing finished

The plumbers came out and finished connecting the pipes to the existing septic system.  The trenches are filled in but still need a lot of work.  It's still incredibly muddy under the dirt piles, so it's just a huge mess right now.  The rebar for connecting the ICF walls to the slab was delivered today, and one of the guys will be here tomorrow to get all of that cut and ready.  We think the foundation crew might be here tomorrow to work on the slab but aren't sure.  We did get some rain this morning, but it wasn't enough to cause a major problem.

I've added a link to an ICF (insulated concrete form) website if anybody is curious.  The exterior walls will be quite different from a standard stick-built house.
