Finished the floor today. A summer full of rain and heat has been an obstacle, but I got it done.

A week late and with much inconvenience due to a strong monsoon season, the concrete fill has been poured in the stem wall and the radiant heat piping has been laid.

Status of my project as of this afternoon. I had laid the vapor barrier and the rigid foam insulation under the slab by Tuesday morning.

If you have followed my post on (Installing and Configuring Apache James)[/blog/install-and-configure-apache-james/], you will have installed your base Apache James server and have the settings configured to send and receive mail for one or more domains.

In my last post, I provided an updated tutorial on (Installing and Configuring Apache James Email Server)[/blog/install-and-configure-apache-james-email/].

Well, my mason skills are not the best, but I’ve got the corner started as of this morning.

This post is related to my instructional series on setting up Apache James as part of building baseline IT infrastructure for a startup or small business.

This evening I will be staging materials and getting ready to lay the stem wall.

Concrete pour is done! Ended up at 20.5 yards of concrete, some footers were wider by a couple of inches and that adds up quickly.

Bulkheads and perimeter insulation are in, we’re ready for concrete pour in the morning.
