Stop in for a cup of coffee

Well I got 57 box’s of books unboxed and on the shelves, not exactly where they are all supposed to be but out of the box and on the shelf. I have decided to follow Craig’s advice and not work myself into a walking triage unit. I am now stopping regardless of progress at the 12 hr mark. It will let me heal up a bit. I got base ready for pouring. I just need the bug guy to get here and spray then I can lay some plastic barrier. I will be very glad to have slab poured. The plumber has charged all his lines and we are holding steady for two days now. I had the electrician replaced within four hours!

There is one or more lines the plumber cannot pressure test unless he is willing to go to the trouble. This line goes upward inside the bathroom wall to the shower. There was a time, before these fancy shower heads, when this pipe never received full line pressure so pressure testing it rarely happened but... some of the newer shower heads have an on/off switch. Pull up the shower switch on the tub spigot then turn the switch on the shower head to off. Line pressure builds in all of it including the drop hose. I know this reads like I visit www.forplumbersonly. Nope. I knew I had a small leak in the master bath somewhere. I took that wall of the surround down and just could not find a leak. The new shower head turned it into a much larger leak whenever that switch on the shower head was off. I just happened to be in the basement beneath the leak while wife was giving the dog a bath. She was turning that shower head with a drop hose on and off again as needed. Talk about a WTF couple of minutes for me.
