I thought that would get your attention, don't think they are finished with the re-bar or at least hope they are not. No workers at the site I was inspecting across the street and sneaked over and snapped a couple of pic's

PEX has been in use in Europe for decades with no product issues.

Blue, red and white (almost clear) has been around a long time.
