The drain tile was installed yesterday and most of the backfill was completed. The plumber also installed the rough-in plumbing for under the basement slab and the electrician got power ran to the basement. Unfortunately that same evening we got 2.50″ of rain, which made a real mess out of everything! Colt came down early this morning, then he and Rob used a transfer pump to get the water out of the basement so it will dry quicker. Unfortunately the pipes floated a bit, so they will need to be reset before the floor is poured.

Southern Public Power came today and finished setting the power poles on the road. They also installed our transformer and meter box with double-throw switch. This will make hooking up a generator for emergency power much easier.

The basement wall forms are up and ready to be poured. It’s beginning to look like a house!
