The basement concrete walls were sprayed with a sticky weatherproofing material, and then 8′ rolls of material designed to drain any remaining water down and away from the house were tacked up. I glued and taped insulation to the other two foundation walls. We should be backfilled within the next day or two, and then the plumbers can start their groundwork. Framing is expected to start next Monday.

Forms were stripped on Friday. Changes will be less obvious for a few days, as the concrete walls are waterproofed and draintile is put down. Then the dirtpile situation will be changed as the dirt is backfilled to the foundation/walls.
The next big step is the start of framing, where the changes will be fast and furious.

Foundation Pour
My lovely wife was awoke this morning at 6:30 with the sound of an approaching pump truck. By shortly after 7, they were pumping concrecte, and by 8:30 most of the walls, foundations, and deck footings were poured. They are expecting to strip forms tomorrow, and begin backfilling next week. We are close to the start of framing!!!!
