All of the basement and foundation block work was completed today! The exterior of the block walls were coated in Drylok and then a coat of foundation tar and felt paper. Two more loads of gravel were delivered today and spread through the basement floor. Drainage tile was placed along the footers and they started back filling with gravel. A significant amount of fill dirt will be needed in the 3 car garage, front porch, and to level out the front yard since the front of the house was built up to ensure proper water drainage. Plans were finalized on the location of bathrooms in the basement so the plumber can begin laying out the drain piping in the basement on Monday. The hope is to pour the concrete basement floor by mid week next week so the framers can begin some time around Thanksgiving. Interior basement walls were also finalized this week so the first floor trusses can be ordered. Floor trusses will be used so the majority of the HVAC, electrical, and plumbing can be run in the truss which will preserve at least 8ft ceiling height in the basement. Hopefully we will have good weather early next week so the concrete can be poured prior to Thanksgiving. According to the bank we are 6% complete within the first two weeks!
