That sums up our weekend. We bushed on 1 1/2 coats of waterproofing about 5 to 6 feet up, removed more form ties on the inside and dug out the perimeter drain areas. This week they are going to lay the drainage pipe around the footing and backfill 1/2 way up the wall. That will make it easier to apply the rest of the waterproofing and give us a place to stand when placing the first floor trusses next weekend. We’re moving at a brisk pace now.

Unreal, guys.
I know it’s been many months in the making, but to an outside observer this thing is just springing up out of the ground.
Can’t wait to see it!
