Done backfilling!

We finished backfilling the basement today. So it is officially finished until we get ready to pour the concrete in the footers. We will put the poly deck on (those are the blocks that make the roof of the basement-they are styrofoam blocks like the walls). They have deep grooves in them that, when filled with concrete, form big concrete I-beams to support the floor. So we will pour the first few inches over the poly deck when we pour the footers, then we'll finish the foundation. So much to do! We had to mark everything out again since we had to move most of the strings to get the tractor around the basement. But we got it all straight and Dan started digging the footers!


Tune in next week. . . . . . . . .
