Foundation almost finished


The basement is almost finished. The walls are up. They've been painted with waterproofer, and sometime this week we'll get the 12-inch blocks poured with concrete to make them solid. The underground part has to be solid fill. They switch to 8-inch block anywhere that might be above grade or close.....that will be sided with brick at the end.


Also this week, barring the rain that's supposed to happen every day, the plumber is supposed to come out and set the pipes for the basement bathroom. Those pipes need to be in before the floor is poured. But basically, within the next two weeks, the basement foundation should be complete and we'll get started framing up the house.
