To continue from last weeks post:
The next steps are filling in and compacting the inside area under the basement slab and then laying the foam insulation that will force the heat from the in-floor heating system up into the house.
|
Here the dirt is being brought in to the inside of the footings and compacted. |
|
The 2″ foam insulation is being laid out and taped at the seams… |
|
Before the foam was laid, the plumbing for the basement bathroom, laundry and mechanical room was dug in. You can see it here sticking up through the foam. |
|
Certain areas have to be thickened and reenforced to handle load bearing posts. |
Next we put down the heat tubes and then pour the slab and go up with the basement walls.
