We got out the heaters and hundred pound propane tanks. That is the cheap way of getting the basement heated so we could properly pour the slabs. Total cost about $200 plus cobbling together some tarps and plastic to cover the windows and stair well which was more work than I’d like it to be. Fortunately the coop gas bar near Killarney has a propane fill station so tank fills are possible.
the slab has cured nicely. By framing the basements soon we can stay ahead of the trades. I also resent hanging the furnace and trying to pour the slab later. With the radon sealing rules we don’t want to be doing that. This way we can be more confident that the radon pipe will be the only significant penetration in the slab. The next job for me is to seal the perimeter with caulking and all the pipe stacks. Lumber is ordered so we should be having those basements framed soon.
