June 2022 – New House

Slab is curing…

Not much new progress. But the concrete is curing. That’s a must! Our realtor took these pictures and sent them to us. To quote the realtor, “That garage is spectacular!!” I say “Spectacularly BIG!” You can also tell monsoon season is upon Las Cruces.

The slab is poured

Progress on the house has been slow, but steady.

Plumbing

The plumbing is all under the concrete slab, so we did a video walk through with the builder to make sure everything was correct.

You can see the various pipes sticking up from the ground. The plumbing is laid out and then covered with dirt. Note the sprinkler in the foreground. They will water the ground to help settle the dirt.

Slab for the house

After the dirt on the plumbing had a chance to settle, it was time to pour the concrete slab.

We have a floor!

The plumbing comes up through the concrete.

This is the back patio.

A nice view of the Organ Mountains this evening.

Slab for the Garage

The garage got a higher strength concrete since we will be parking an RV on it. So it was poured the next day.

The RV Garage. Is it big enough? I hope so!

RV Garage from the back. You can see the threshold for the small, rear garage door.

The driveway will be poured at a later date.
