March 9th - Backfill
So, I went by this morning, after dropping Summer off at daycare and running a few errands. There was a touch of snow still on the ground, as there was a light snow last night and it was still cold. The cold doesn't stop the workers. They just dress appropriately and keep at it. I'm glad I caught this moment, as it was being filled and the tamping machine was packing the dirt in firmly. Very cool moment!
Another simple front on shot for comparison to other pics on the blog. Compared to above you can see with just a bit of time and some Sun, the snow pretty much melted away. This image is missing some of the garage on the right, but it shows the fill all around a little bit, and hey, there's our neighbor's house! The mountain of dirt is being dismantled.
This next image is of those window-wells on the left side again, but, all back-filled with the dirt. That's where the tamping machine was working this morning.
Next up is the garage area. It wasn't completely filled in, yet. I guess they have to fill a bit more and pack it in, then fill some more. I'm guessing if they didn't finish today, they'll be done tomorrow...which should mean the concrete can be poured into the basement early next week.
Last one for tonight is the plumbing. The piping sticking up is the rough in for the basement bathroom. There were too many people still working around for me to walk around and get a shot/check for the rough-in for the wet bar. I'll check that out tomorrow, or this weekend when less people are around. But, for now, this is a nice image. Shows the sewer lines are in and the main copper plumbing lines are ready to go! Also can note the notation on the back wall. They mark the address (obliterated from the image) and hosue style, etc...and they even remind everyone that it is an 8 foot basement unfinished. I can make out some of the code. :-)
