Preparing to Pour the Floor of the Basement and Garage

Gravel has been hauled in for the driveway

The garage has been compacted and prepared for the floor to be poured. 

The walls have been back-filled.  There is still some work to do, but the majority has been completed.

The footers seen here are for the supports.

This is the rough in for the bathroom in the basement.

Starting to prepare the porch.  However, this will not be poured until after the framing is completed.

As you can see from the pictures, quite a bit of time has been spent in preparation for pouring the floors in the basement and garage.  They have compacted, smoothed and compacted some more!  Also, Dave has rough graded all areas around the house.  In addition, the plumbing for the basement bathroom has been roughed in.  We decided to go ahead and put in a shower downstairs in case Braeden decides he wants to move down there when he gets in high school.  I'm sure by then, he will want to be as far away from us as possible : )
