Prepping for the Drain Tile

      Drove over to the lot this morning and found the foundation walls had been waterproofed.  The tar goes up about halfway on the exterior of the walls that will make up the basement.

After dinner, Karen, G and I drove back over to see if any further progress had been made.  Several truck loads of gravel had been dumped on the lot for use in and around the foundation.  Also, the drain tubing was on site ready to be installed.

By the end of the week, we hope to see the tubes in place around the foundation.  Gravel will fill in around and above it.  Also, the basement floor should be poured and the foundation backfilled.
