The tiles look great. I'm willing to bet the lead content in them is no less than 50%, so they should last a lifetime. Larry Ha ha... I bet that glaze is at least 25% lead. |

Another update: We got approved on the under foundation plumbing! Geotech passed the footing Inspection! All Form boards are in place! Almost 600ft of 4",3" and 2" pipe was required for the 5 baths, 2 kitchens, bar and 2 laundry rooms. My guys were able to crank out the plumbing in 4 days. Monday we will be working on all the steel and hold down bolts. Then I will get the engineer to inspect and sign off. Then the county will let us pour and we won't see an inspector until the roof nailing gets inspected. It's a fucking mini mall...        |

Scott,
I bet you will keep the batch plants busy with both the footing pours and the slab. ;D
I was thinking that you'll need a really good whole house audio/video-com/intercom system to keep tabs on everything and where your family is ATM.
Have you chosen a system yet? It can be daunting and talk about budget breaking but you will at least want the infrastructure in now. Look for high quality bundled cabling for Cat 6/fiber/RG6-quad shield/LV power etc. It costs a lot per foot but simplifies hooking up the whole house stuff.
Another option is the XM/RF stuff that has come a long way over the years.
All in all, it will be cool to see whether or not this thread beats out the 3RRL ranch construction thread for posts and length.
I can't wait for the tri-tip, boozed up house warming party!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
Later.
Ken
