Preparation for South Patio

These photographs show the insulation and rebar set in place for the concrete pour soon to be done - after the rain stops.  

The horizontal insulation is 3 inches thick.  The vertical insulation along the footer is 2 inches thick.  They will help keep the heat sync (under the house) from escaping as it will have to travel another 9 feet (from the interior of the house) to uninsulated dirt.  

Every 2 feet along the front of the house slab, there is a drilled hole where the rebar has been inserted.  Since the rebar is 1 foot apart, every other piece of rebar is 'floating'.
