Basement plumbing


Friday the 13th wasn't unlucky at all:  Harry Byrd inspected and passed the basement plumbing install, so the next up will be laying 2" pink insulation foam (Owens Corning Foamular r=10) on the gravel so the concrete can be poured for the floor. The seams will be sealed so it will help with waterproofing too.  The pipe running along the wall is for the condensate which will flow into the sump and then be pumped into the rain system when necessary.
 
The crew wrapped the foundation with the dimpled waterproofing.  It's nailed on at the top and there's a lip that helps moisture flow but there are no holes punched in the bottom. The only water in this basement will be from a spilled glass!

Newly delivered are the ash pegs and mallets to drive them:
