An assortment of things today. A lot of dirt was moved. They started to fill in around the inside of the garage foundation to ready for the gravel layer. The footings for the rear screened porch were located, and the exterior basement entrance was defined.

Later the trench for the sewer connection from the foundation to the city tap was dug, the pipes laid and connected, and the inspector out to check for leaks – giving the okay. Then the trench was filled and tamped down by the huge excavator tractor.

The foundation was also prepared along the front wall to set in the front porch foundation. No huge cranes this time, just our builder’s tractor to carry and set them in place. We will soon be ready to walk in our front door.
