Under slab plumbing is in place...

We got the update from Steve today: "Update. Under slab plumbing is scheduled for today. Inspection by the Building Department tomorrow morning." So, for those curious souls out there, here is what the plumbing looks like under your slab:


We're not quite sure what everything does (especially those black boxes), but we're pretty sure that the red and and blue tubes are for hot and cold water. Beyond that, we'll just trust that they know what they are doing. The pink stuff around the edge is the water-proofing material.

By the way, whenever we think about the plumbing under the slab, both Emilie and I are reminded of the scene in True Lies (which is a great movie, by the way!) where Jamie Lee Curtis tells Arnold Schwarzenegger--

JLC: Listen, the plumber called. He says he has to dig under the slab or something that's going to cost $600.

AS: Mmm, that's okay.

JLC: Well, it's not okay. It's extortion.

AS: So what did you tell him?

JLC: I slept with him and he said he would knock off $100.

AS: That's good thinking. Bye honey!
