Jim Sletten finished up end wall of the basement adding the doorway that will lead into the crawl space. We decided to make it 36” wide by 48” high. The poured concrete floor comes through the doorway to the inside of the basement wall (no annoying step). These are pretty much the last blocks to be laid in the “L” Shaped House foundation walls.
The block laying crew is spending today filling cores and placing anchors in the foundation walls. Here Chuck is mixing cement (1/2 bag Portland cement, 18 shovels of sand, water to suit). Each of the 8’ cores takes a couple of mixer loads (29 batches and 522 shovels…so far). They hope to have all the cores poured today.
The last two photos show the asphalt waterproof coating as it winds around the perimeter of the foundation walls. In the last photo the (newly) proposed landscape terracing East of the basement walkout doors shows as an outline of black goo!
