The Weekend Report…

The site is SLOWLY drying out after the big storm Thursday and Friday but there's still plenty of mud in the basement and the freshly excavated walk-out. The Tappe Construction folks plan to be working on the “L” Shaped House framing Monday morning (their tool box and construction fork lift are already here).

Helen and Sonja decided that they just had to tour the basement despite the water puddles and mud. They jumped in at the East end and and walked out through the walk-out door. I tried to tell them that they would have to walk through the mud to get out but they had a foolproof plan of their own…

The big rains have helped to compact the back-filling around the footings and foundation walls. The  fill has dropped at least a few inches almost everywhere and probably more like 6-8 inches  around the basement walk-out doorway. I continue to think that the rains have actually been a big help on the project…so far.

Matt Sletten removed the plastic from the garage floor Friday afternoon after one week covering the new concrete.  The new floor looks awesome.
