A miserable, frustrating day that brightened up as it went along. Lots of rain last night and some this morning turned it back into the ol' backyard mud pit; like walking on fly paper. The stack testing frustrated and worried me all day long. After switching to the third set of couplings on the extension tube for the tester plug, and buying a new bike pump and gauge, and switching back to the original, and cutting off the cleanout and sealing with a test plug, and regluing it after even that didn't work, it looks like it might be holding. We'll find out tomorrow. It just feels good to have an explanation besides "there's a leak somewhere". Gravel delivered today. Got about a 1/3 of what i needed, but it's all we could really fit at once, anyway. As long as i can keep working on something i don't get too worried, but I have let go of the dream of the Monday inspection of everything pre-slab pour. If we can get the floor poured by Friday I'll be very happy.

(Probably best to press play on the videos, then pause, then wait for video to load, then play, for smooth playback... they are big files. 2 videos in this playlist.)

I know.

Alternately, you might need to update your Flash plugin.
