March 3rd - More Foundation Progress

OK, this first picture shows the sealing they do to the concrete on the filling side. Meaning they seal where they are going to back-fill with dirt. The break in the wall on the right is the main 2-car garage. They will back-fill up to the edge to allow room for a driveway to be put in. The hole in the center is the smaller opening for the 3rd car garage door. I am a little unsure why there is a hole underneath this area. Guess there has to be a break from a full lower footing for the basement and the higher footing for the garage.


This second picture is of the left side wall, as shown in the last post, just from the back of the house. The window wells are installed. The backfill covers the lower portion of these.


This picture shows the inside of the window wells. The pic is a little blurry, but you can see the ladder and how it hangs on the window well. I am unsure if those round things stay there, I have to get a closer look by getting out of the car soon.


The last picture for today shows the sewer being installed. This image is interesting in that it shows the hand labor involved. Not everything can be done with a large machine. There are hand shovels to get under the footers and lay the main pipe. A nice large PVC.


These pictures were from Friday. They worked on a house across the street a little on Saturday, but nothing happened to our house until Monday.
