Another day of great progress. A little tricky around the fireplace footing and the stairway. Once we got past that it was clear sailing. We are having to put beams in to simulate bearing walls until the basement pad is poured. I have arranged for Cariboo Regional District inspection on Tuesday for the perimeter drainage. John Taylor will start on Wednesday to backfill the house and the garage. We will have to spot a couple of loads of gravel for the perimeter drainage and the basement pad. I will be doing the rest of the moisture barrier and piping this weekend. If I run out of things to do there is lots of blocking between floor joists yet to finish. Might get to that Sunday Lord willing. The backhoe is a great tool, lots of shovel-fulls per bucket. A neophyte like me needs to be careful or he might end up placing too much dirt in a particular spot and the have to shovel it out by hand. Oh well nice evening for a little exercise.
