Day 19: Electrical preparations and more rebar

Today we completed routing all of the electrical and Cat5 conduits that will be cast into the concrete slab - see pic below. I like having the Cat5 cables in conduits. If technology for wired data in the home changes in the future, I just need to pull new wires through the conduits.

Victor and Fernando from Monterey Bay Rebar were back today to place the concrete slab rebar. Once again, they made the job look easy and finished quickly - see pic below. Three inch thick dobies were placed on the sand to support the rebar approximately at mid height of the 6" thick slab.

Thanks for reading. Please leave a comment if you like.
