Construction Progress
This image represents a major milestone - the completion of the under-slab insulation installation. The two square openings are for thickened concrete pads that will support the future 2-post car lift installation.
Next Steps
With the insulation complete, the next construction phases will be:
- Install PEX tubing for in-floor radiant heating system on top of foam
- Place rebar or wire mesh for slab reinforcement
- Final utility sleeve installations
- Pour concrete slab and rat wall
