All I want for Christmas is a Concrete Slab, A Concrete Slab, A Concrete Slab...

The Island is getting slammed with a Nor'easter, with a storm surge as high as 10 feet. The water is up to the bottom of the Murray River Bridge, and this system is to last for a few days so I don't think the slab will happen before Christmas. Still, it's good to see that the insulation and radiant tubing is installed and ready for the concrete.Where the tubing turns up the wall is where the manifolds for the system will be. Everything beyond that post is the mechanical room.
This wall below is the west wall of the bathroom and back hall. Each of these spaces will have a window in this wall.
The walls of the bathroom are framed and the roof, west wall and north wall are sheathed with plywood. The back porch doesn't get framed until the slab is in, so there is room to do the pouring.

Below is the north wall of the bathroom.
Below is the east wall of the bathroom with the window opening framed. The bathtub goes below this window, with a nice view to the outhouse.
the Kitchen
Even though it's not a huge bathroom (12x7), it looks big compared to the Kitchen. It's wonderful to see the shape and overall form go up. The back porch that will be to the left of the bathroom and cover that corner of the kitchen will complete the composition.
Looks great to me. Thanks again Lois for the fantastic pictures. It makes me feel better to see that the house didn't float away.
