Slab Nearing Completion

I called around for concrete estimates. I learned, from others that had built before, mixing your own concrete is a lot of work. Scott and I were convinced we would have the concrete delivered and simply pour it ourselves. I need about 1.5 yards, and was getting estimates of $350-375.

Coincidentally our neighbors are building a Sport Court this week. Tom, the neighbor, suggested I contact his contractor and get our concrete at the same time. Kevin from Sport Court offered to finish framing the concrete, fill-in the remaining Class 5, lay the rebar, install conduits (for water and electricity) and pour the concrete for only $500. Check written. Slab off our 'To Do' list!

Rebar laid. Waiting for concrete Monday .. ?

We have decided to bury three 2" PVC tub es for electricity and water. Not sure if we will use them, but they will be there. We decided on 2" so we can feed through a garden hose and extension cord as we will not run the electricity or water permanently. We are thinking a spiket on the end for water or a sink in the counter. As for the electricity we are thinking sconces in front of the oven and two lights shining down on the grill and counter top.
