The Build - Stage 2 & 3 Footings and Rough Pluming



Footing are poured.  On top of these concrete lines our walls will be secured. Our basement is going to be constructed of insulated steel forms and will be bolted down to these footings.  I'll tell you more about it in future posts.



Gravel is being poured as filler.


Time to install rough plumbing.  This was probably my least favorite task.  We had to make sure the pipe was angled at 2%.  That required lots of gravel moving and hot hours leveling. 


Orange lines indicate where future footings will be placed to support the bearing walls.  The truck is shooting gravel across the basement.  Not only was this cool to watch, but it saved me hours and hours of hauling gravel and lots of sore muscles.


Gravel spreading completed.  What a beautiful sight!
