Normally in Arizona we are over the moon about a good wet season. We are so water deprived that we have been known to just sit at the window and watch the rain pour down with huge smiles on our faces. But lately, the ample rain we have been blessed with has been a sad sad sight for me.
You see, heavy rain makes it impossible for the plumber to do his underground work, or for the concrete slab to be poured. We were planning on getting all of that done last week, but the rain has caused us to push the slab back a full week. If we keep having delays like this, I think it will be 2018 before we get into the house. :(
On the bright side, it did dry up enough for the plumber to come and put in the underslab plumbing.
Remember that nice level lot? It has now been trenched and the plumbing has been put in and covered. It passed inspection and now we have to level it all out again.
I would never have thought a sight like this could bring me such happiness, but any kind of progress on this house brings me hope.
Now we just have to get it prepared for the concrete and pray that it does not rain next Saturday.
