Waterproofed

Apologies for the delay in posting, but I haven't found much yet worth really posting.
I have been obssessive and continously visited my lot every chance I get (whether I should be there or not) but have only managed to twice get pictures. I am really trying to keep to this "every friday" I agreed, so maybe if I do stick to that I should actually have updates every weekend.

As last reported I had footings, well since that visit (I think it was the 23rd visit at this point), I noticed I had foundation walls for my basement! And then again this Friday my dad and I went (after a wonderful dinner at Mucho Burrito) and noticed that I had the membranes up on the sides of my basement exterior walls. How is it that rubber makes me excited (and thankfully not in some S&M way). I fearlously decided to try and climb the tallest dirt pile to try and get a shot of my basement layout (determine where they are putting my plumbing down there in order to think of a future layout).

I went again last night to show my mom what we saw on Friday and when we drove through we actually noticed that the dirt piles were gone in front of my house. Where did they go? Well seems to me they have backfiled a bit, which is really good news! Hoepfully by this Friday they will have done more than just backfiling, but photos will only tell.

Have a peak see below for the progress that has happened. I'm anxious to see how my mom makes her little scrapbook for all this.


The foundation is being revealed to me, it was like a Christmas gift I didn't have to open

View of the difference in window sizes, as I opted for rec-room ready my windows are bigger than my neighbours who didn't upgrade their basement


Overall view of membrane on front and garage, here you can see what looks like maybe some sort of conduit at the back corner of the house, could that be my bathroom?? Or jsut for electricity? (I don't know my conduits)
