Gravel was used to back fill over the undisturbed ground then the slab was poured over the gravel (with a moisture barrier in between).

I'm working on the wiring now. We would like to focus on getting the rest of the yard done so I might put off doing the wall finishing. I like to leave it open until I really decide where I like everything to go as well. It's a slow build but at least now it serves the purpose of keeping the...
