The foundation has been poured and the forms removed. Now fill is being added back against the outside of the foundation.
It will likely take a lot more fill as these are deep! Part of us discussed not filling these in and having a secret bomb shelter type room. But those thoughts quickly passed thinking about how much money it would take and its already large enough of a house!
There is a lot of fill, so maybe its enough. This is probably why we’re hiring professionals to do the project as it all looks interesting, but unfamiliar!
While all this fill is going on, the plumber came to the site and roughed in all of the plumbing. Our plans call for some of the framing in the basement to be structural. That means we’ll need the concrete floor poured before framing can continue. So plumbing away!
Above you can see the lines coming up. They come way up so when the concrete is poured, there is room to attach to them.
And this might be the most important and yucky line in the whole house. It will go to the septic tank.
