Okay the pressure test worked so we are on track to pour concrete tomorrow morning.
Not having to go through every tube to find a leak is a relief.  It turns out it was the manifold connections, they were not as tight as needed to maintain pressure.  Oh how happy I am.

Obstacles always gets in the way of my well laid plans.  The tub that I thought was perfect will not fit in the space that Bill allowed for one.  Unless one does not mind the toilet and tub touching.  Now we look for another one.

The doors are not deep enough for the openings which means trying to find a solution that everyone can live with.  Whatever we do for these patio/garden doors will have to be done for all outside doors because the foam is so thick.

I hope the doors we picked out for the other openings look nice.  It is not easy for Brian and I to go out and pick out six doors that we both like so when we did find them we ordered them right away.   This was at Lowes too.  When we went to pay for the doors the price had increased by 50. to 100. dollars a door.  That is a big spread when we were buying six doors.  Brian was great and asked why the difference and when he was told they had to be ordered in because they did not keep some of them in stock he was very firm about why would you have a price marked on the wall when you knew that would not be the price......etc.  The salesman did give us the lower price on everything but we had to fight for it.

I am hoping this gets closed in by next week but we will see.

The basement stairs may prove to be a problem since they are not 36 inches wide and the new code is that is the min. requirement.  Lisa the inspector was over and is going to see what can be done.  If nothing else we will close them up and use the old stairs and try to make the old ones wider.  That is a whole new adventure.

Ready for the concrete tomorrow.

This is still not deep enough for the ICF walls.

The new closet.

These stairs down will only be 31 inches so they would not pass inspection.
