Well, after pumping water out of the footer probably 3 or 4 times since my last post we finally got 3 days without rain.
We were set to pour on Monday the 16th but my concrete guy didn't like how the weather forecast looked so he put it off until Thursday the 19th. I didn't rain all day on Monday the 16th but then about 9:00pm we got a massive storm that dumped a ton of water on us. Pumped it out again the next day after work.
I put 3 runs of rebar on 3" chairs on the bottom and then I shot with my transit 18" down from the top of the slab and ran another run of rebar and that is where we poured the concrete to. I also ran another run of rebar 6" below the top run. Every 5' I ran a vertical bar up to turn down to tie the slab to. All rebar is #60 commercial grade.

Builders in the south don't like installing floor drains for some reason but here is a shot of the 3" pipe turning to go to those.

Thursday was beautiful and we finally poured 23 yards of concrete for the footer.

Now on to the form boards and plumbing.
