March 7th - More Plumbing And Base Work

OK, they had some sheething and a bit further progress on Monday, but nothing visually that different. On Tuesday, though, we took these three pictures.

First up, a corner of the house, which shows how they tack on some sheething and protect the footers/the entire basement from ground water leakage. Every little additional seal helps! They also tar over that tacked on strip to seal up the little holes from the tacking. I'm betting I'll post another picture later that will show the tarring, if they don't back-fill it too soon. Also, some copper piping can be seen in the image. The entire house is done in PVC and Copper. Copper in, PVC out, I imagine.


The next pic is semi-redundant, showing the sheething, again. However, this just shows how they wrap it around the wall supports and by the window wells.


Last picture does not really pertain to the day. If you look at some pictures from other days, you can see portions of this pile of wood in the images. However, today I decided to take a more full-on view picture of our roof rafters. This house is basically just a big puzzle, and the pieces are shipped in and assembled in place.
