Basement is done

So there wasn't a lot of visable progress on the house last week.  They did waterproofing of the basement walls.  There was all sorts of underground and utility work going on.

On Wednesday, they filled in the foundation.  They brought a whole bunch of gravel and new dirt in and then filled in everything around the foundation. 

The ground is now level to the edge and the bottom is all gravel.  You can actually stand in the garage!!  Here's a picture from of inside the basement from standing in the garage space.

There are also some support beams on site too.  The poles that will be set in the basement are lying in the space.  I didn't get my weekly call last week, so I'm not entirely sure of what's in store for the upcoming week, but framing is supposed to start, so that should be fun to watch!
