The forms for the walls were removed and the outside was waterproofed on Thursday. On Friday the drain tile was added inside and outside the foundation – this is in addition to the form that also acts as a drain tile – we do not want to have any flooding. Pipe is a good investment right now! On Friday the driveway was extended, taking many loads of gravel. Once the trucks could get to the garage, this was loaded with gravel, then dumped over the edge to the basement – the muddy conditions would not allow the dump trucks to get back up the hill.

This evening Jyll and I took a look around – the basement looks very large today – this will change one the 1st floor and walls are added.

Next up are a few odds and ends before the floor gets poured – currently scheduled for next Friday. The plumber and HVAC subs will be doing some work, followed by an inspection, then addition of the tubing for the radiant floor heat.

Things dried out today – there are a lot of tracks going up and down the hill from all of the work thus far.
