The black boxes are for the tubs and shower. The larger size pipe is for the toilet in the second bath. The pipe running across the bottom of the picture is going to be for the ERV and will be exiting the wall of the garage (not in the envelope)
This is from the other side of the Garage showing the second bath connections. The pipe with the blue covering is a PEX line (I think) which will go under the Garage slab and out the North West corner of the garage to bring in the rainwater from the 20,000 gallon tank to the Mechanical Room in the Garage to be treated.
This is where the lines go to the Utility Sink and the Washer then out the North side of the Garage where they had to dig down below the forms to get the slope they needed. The Black and Gray lines are sleeved where they go through the forms and filled with spray foam. The Gray water appears to have a vent coming up on the other side of the form.
I noticed the Black Water line had a straight run of about 80 feet then took this 90 degree turn. Hope that won't be a problem but Dennis, Built Green Consultant, says not a problem since there are multiple cleanouts available if a problem stoppage occurs plus the line is 4 inch which should be plenty big.
Just another picture from the other side showing the pipes going through the side of the slab.
I also went to see the quarry where they will be mining the stone for my house, Esponiza Stone.
They call this White Stone which it really is almost chaulk white with smooth sides on three sides and a rough chiseled side for the outside. The width is from 3 to 5 inches and is trucked to the site on pallets just like this. The guy at Espinoza said it is mined within 13 miles of my house and thus is very cost effective. It is perfect and just what I wanted for my Rocky Hollow Home.
So, these are the pipes that will run below the slab of your home foundation? All the pipes look like they’re made of good quality materials. Anyway, just make sure that the sub -slab will be not too deep, so that when you need some renovation in the future, you can easily tear down the slab.

Looking at the photos, looks like you still have a long way to go. But it’s good to see that the first part of home building is already complete. This way, you can already visualize what’s going to happen next. But I guess you’re done building the house by now. Good job on the plumbing rough-in!
