Slab

This was actually finished last Friday, but I am a blogging slacker. Before we poured the slab, they installed insulation for me. Hopefully this will make for a warmer basement floor. We wanted to do radiant heat, but I just don't think it is in the budget, so I settled for just insulating. Then they poured the slab. I wondered how they smoothed it out when there wasn't anywhere to stand, but apparently when it gets to a certain hardness they can kneel on top of it to finish it. This is probably obvious to most of you, but I had never seen it done.
