The plumber had several other jobs to do before getting to us but they finally came out last Thursday. It had rained off and on for several days but we had put a giant tarp over the areas where the plumbing would be to keep them dry. Seems to have worked well enough.
The jobsite looks like a big mess now, but all the plumbing that will be below the slab has been installed. The plumber is using PEX, which is a flexible plastic pipe that can withstand freezing and thawing without bursting, unlike PVC or copper. Also, since it comes in a roll, it can be cut to length so that there are no joints beneath the slab. All connections are above the slab.
Now we're just waiting on the foundation guys to come back for the final grading, the electric, the pest control and then we pour. I've been told the Structural Insulated Panels will arrive on 12/28. A late Christmas present!
