Waterproofing

Here are the bricks that will be used to cover the front of the house

8 inches of grave in the basement floor. All drain plumbing will be in the grave, and concrete slab on top.

They spray waterproofing and apply R-5 insulation for the foundation


Waterproofing everywhere, comes with a warranty/guarantee

Every part of the foundation must be covered

Footing are in

The footings are poured and looking good. Jen and Allison in the picture below give some scale to the whole thing. I am curious as to see how much concrete will be used on the walls.


Allison loves to throw rocks, she's in hog heaven.

Basement below, front porch footings to the left and garage at the far end.

The little square to the right will house the egress window.


Note the french drain all the way around the footing.
