Can't believe a week has gone by so fast!  Monday was a rain day.  Tuesday the sun came out so the crew waterproofed the outside footing with a tar substance that is painted on, then a mesh is layed over that, then more tar.

Wednesday they started the second-step waterproofing which is a sticky back plastiky fiber sheet that goes on like contact paper.











On the inside they cut away 6 inches of styrofoam from the bottom and drilled holes for rebar to make a solid connection between the walls and the slab floor.


We also passed the basement plumbing inspection for the floor drains and sump pump.


I helped Mom move firewood!  I took pieces from her pile and made my own pile!
