The cut away showing the concrete reflects a very good job pouring and vibrating. I did not see any indication of any aggregate in the concrete showing in the cut away. Do you know what concrete mix you used for that pour? This is a REALLY nice ICF build series. We are about to build a similar ICF home "kinda sorta" DIY. 👍
All my fixtures runs down one side of the house 32 by 72 2403 square footages bathroom, dining room,kichten,laundry room,master bathroom is there any steps up to take or just branch off all the way thur with the right fall on pipes and right fixtures
I have watched videos mentioning that using sched 80 vertical pipes cuts down the water moving noise a lot. But note that I have no practical experience on this and I am not a plumber and I am not even a RUclips expert. Smile
Is anyone on the job a licensed plumber??? Not sure which code or jurisdiction you are in, but you have missed a few important things/details. Every time I hear “ dry fit the layout “ , I am concerned about the ability of a person. We professionals maybe fit one or two joints ahead, never a whole layout. Good luck.
My plan when o build is to let all pipes loose and accesible in case of a hiccup....meaning i donot break any slab or concrete looking for the problem and finding it....key words are accesible, easy to diagnose, and easy to repair with a no hastle clean job....what do you tkink?
@7:53 with respect to your vanity being flush with the wall to look like a built-in: In order to get the look you want, keep in mind your vanity top will be hanging over off the vanity face by 1.5" - 2".
Great question! Our ICF builder told us to put in clean gravel prior to the rough-in plumbing, so we did. His crew then went in and put the plumbing in. We agree with you that it seems like an awful lot of work and an odd way to do things.
We did! It is not a huge issue in this part of the country, but we didn't want to have to do anything retroactively if we ended up with a problem. We ran pvc pipe under the slab that will terminate in the mechanical room. We can add a fan to it and vent it outside the house if. needed
I’m impressed with your attention to detail, planning, and how well you explain details others don’t. Good luck and thanks. Live the dream!
I appreciate that! Thank you!
My guy....your house will gurgle like crazy, no vents
It is vented and has two air emittance valves. The more recent plumbing video has all the details.
Your shower has no vent. I didn’t see any on the toilets either.
Good work , very informative.
Thank you! I am glad it helps!
How did you pass inspection with that san tee on it's back for the floor drain?

Why is their no atmospheric vent on anything? And your floor drain is an S-trap, that makes a natural siphon.
I noticed the S-trap also.
Floor drains can still hold gases
@@georgehunter2937 what does that have to do with venting?

Love your hat 😍😊
Thank you! LOL.

do you treat for termites? they love that foam to make highways to and from their food/ home
We have heard that too. We will definitely treat for termites.

That is easily accomplished with a crawl space, harder to do with a slab for sure.
No venting with this build out
It's not in the video but we do vent all the way to roof after the floors go up. Hooked up plumbing last week and everything works great!
Wouldn’t it had been easier if you had installed the pipes prior to pouring the foundations and walls ?
No it would not.

Thanks, Chris. Good point. Fingers crossed it works out perfect!
Where are the vents?
They route up through the upstairs bathroom. We have one vent connected to all the bathrooms up through roof.
Why in the world did you do your gravel before the rough in plumbing?
Great question! Our ICF builder told us to put in clean gravel prior to the rough-in plumbing, so we did. His crew then went in and put the plumbing in. We agree with you that it seems like an awful lot of work and an odd way to do things.
Did you do anything for Radon mitigation?
We did! It is not a huge issue in this part of the country, but we didn't want to have to do anything retroactively if we ended up with a problem. We ran pvc pipe under the slab that will terminate in the mechanical room. We can add a fan to it and vent it outside the house if. needed
It sure would have been easier to get the lines in when you just had nothing but the layout down.
Agreed! This is the way our contractor is used to doing it, so he did it his way.
You might want to focus the camera on the Job rather than yourself. People want to see what's going on with the plumbing rather than the plumber.
