Concrete Work

When they excavated the new basement there was limited spots to put the earth. They did hauls away countless truckloads of earth but they needed to leave some for back filling. At least this way we don't have to worry about the low spot on our driveway...

Or the lowspot in the frontyard for that matter. Suprisingly we haven't missed a day of mail - talk about a dedicated Canada Post Employee.

The pile of earth on the driveway changes the perspective of the yard. The perimeter concrete footing is visible in the back ground.

Here the footing is defining where the new basement and addition will be. The rebar sticking up will be the center point of the Logix Blocks and the center of the new basement walls.

Finally the new garden door has been installed in what will be the new Master Bedroom. It is still Joshua's room and he is excited to have this in his room. He has commented a few times that he can "sneak out" but the threat of no Wii for a month will hopefully deter that.
