First major step done! Re: Our First Dream Home Week 2 Slab - G&P Builders 76Jan 31, 2018 10:36 am The slab is finished . My husband and I don’t have a day together until the weekend because I’m on afternoon shift so we’ll have to celebrate on the weekend. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I’m a bit concerned that the waste for my freestanding ensuite bath is in the middle of where the bath will go but our bath has the waste at the end. I’m not sure if that’s normal and they run it along or something or if it’s an error. I’ve emailed my concern and a photo to the builder to clarify.

Our First Dream Home Week 2 Slab - G&P Builders 77Jan 31, 2018 5:09 pm Yay! Hopefully they’ll be able to fix the bath waste location. We are having a free standing cabinet in the powder room so the drain was supposed to be recessed behind the wall instead of coming up through the floor but wasn’t. Our builder can and will rectify this so sounds like it’s not impossible to do stuff like that after the slab has been poured Re: Our First Dream Home Week 2 Slab - G&P Builders 78Jan 31, 2018 6:55 pm Dani_J Yay!

My husband said maybe they planned to put it on a platform like they have at their display. Our spec specifically says no allowance for it to be on a platform though. I’m worried being on a platform looks a bit busy but I’m happy to have it if it saves the integrity of the slab.

I hope you get a quick response about your bath waste. I think some free standing baths have a cavity below the base of the bath to be able to deal with wastes points not lining up. Can I ask how high the back of your pad is? Will you retain the whole back? Re: Our First Dream Home Week 2 Slab - G&P Builders 80Feb 02, 2018 12:50 am Thank you Tribe. I’m glad to see you back! The builder emailed me back about the bath waste and said it is their error and they will cut out part of the slab and reposition the pipe. I’m a bit worried about the integrity of the slab but they have assured me it will be fine.
