Waterproofing!

I feel like it's been forever since I posted an update on the house, but there hasn't been a lot of 'visible' changes.  They've been doing a lot of work, but it's not like framing that you can see.  They have been working on the waterproofing of the basement; an important part of the process, no doubt, but not exciting to look at like framing or siding or kitchen design would be (well, to me anyway ;-)  Here are some updated pictures of what's been going on in the past week or so out at the house.

Here's a good picture showing the water proofing around the house near where the garage will be.

Brian showing Sara that it's a long way down!  14-15 feet to be exact!

Here's the back side of the basement where the walk out patio will be.  More waterproofing...

According to Chad, they will be back filling this week, taking out the additional trees we need removed for our "Solar Farm" (as I like to call it), roughing in the plumbing in the basement and pouring the basement floor and garage floors.  I don't know if all of that will get done this week, but that's what's on the agenda.  The engineered joists have been ordered and should be delivered in the next week or so.  Then, they can start framing!  Yay!  Can't wait to see some structure above ground :-)
