laying pipe

Looks like the plumbing that will be embedded in the slab has been laid into place. Tomorrow is probably rebar (huge pile of rebar at the build site, hint hint).

Looking at this I feel really good about some of the hidden aspects of the design. In general there's not a lot of plumbing. Furthermore, all the plumbing is along one exterior wall, and is as close to the water heater as possible. It's not flashy but it's a nice way to bump up efficiency and (for me this is the bigger deal) not have to worry about having an intricate set of pipes running all over the house, through walls, in ceilings, etc.
