Katie volunteered to go headfirst in to our septic tank to install the pressure test stopper in the pipe from the house. Don't worry, the septic system is unused and has only been filled once with fresh water.
I'm gearing up to do a pressure test of the drainage plumbing, but couldn't get it done because I was missing an adapter. Here's another end of the septic that I roughed-in on Saturday. This is the downstairs shower drain. To fit the shower pan, the rough-in pipe has to be exactly 12" from each corner.
After preparing for the pressure test, I set to work installing the clothes dryer vent. I'm going to get one more extension so the inside vent terminates lower on the wall. But I'm very pleased with the look of the exterior vent on the metal siding.
After Katie's field trip with a few of the kids earlier this week to move the pile of tongue and groove pine down to the basement, we still needed to get the big beefy glulam beams off the floor. The beams will become our stair stringers, replacing the stairs picture to the left below. But we won't install them until after the heated concrete floor is poured. So for now, their resting on temporary racks mounted to the wall with the boxes of thermosoft electric flooring sitting on top of them.
Oh, by the way, our electrical rough-in passed inspecting earlier this week, and we're cleared to the cover the electrical wires with insulation.

The white tape on the floor marks the size and location of the kitchen island. Although, the more current plan is to have a rolling crank table that can be used as both an island *and* as a dining table.
