Tawny found this water within a minute of us arriving at the land. This water is in the trench by our well. It was really funny watching her frolic in the water, sticking her head under the water to get the Kong, etc.Just a quick reminder - you can click on any photo to see it full size.
Friday was a hot day, but not brutally hot (unlike the forecast for the coming week) as there was a nice breeze. Freda made some shortcakes and prepared some strawberry shortcakes for the crew (L-R: Chris, Dave, Steve) as a little break in the afternoon. These guys were slathering on sunscreen liberally when working on the foil bubble wrap, but Steve got a sunburn around his eyes as he didn't have any sunglasses.
Here the sheets of wire mesh have been wire-wrapped together already. Now Chris is fastening the Wirsbo tubing, for the radiant heating, to the mesh. Chris bends a straight piece of wire around the mesh and the tube, hooks the two circles on the end of that wire onto the tool, and a few quick turns of the wrist - presto, the wire is tied off neatly.
Here Dave is measuring out the run of the Wirsbo tubing. Each run must be no more than a total of 300 feet. Hey Wirsbo, here's a suggestion to reduce installation time -- print a thick band around the tube every 10 feet, then measuring the length of the run would be a simple matter of counting the thick bands.
Here is what it looks like when the heating tube installation is completed. This shows the heating tubes that are installed in the master suite and part of the kitchen.

I too am doing an ICF basement with Hambro floor trusses. I was unsure how to insulate the 1st floor slab to the exterior and I see you used half of a form. Sounds like a good idea. I'm still a little unclear on how to proceed with my first floor 2x6 framing. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Btw, I am fortunate to span a distance that requires no columns in the basement whatsoever. I have a long fairly narrow footprint. Definitely one advantage of using Hambro is fewer or no columns in basement.
