Drain Tile

The new portion of the basement is lower and so it has a sump pump and drain tile system. 
In these two pictures the crew is pouring rock over the plastic drain tile.  In the second photo you can see where the sump pump will sit. It's on the inside of the foundation. It will eject the water out towards the sidewalk where we'll direct it into the rain garden. 

They'll also be putting in more of the underpining foundation in place.  The walls and rebar should also be going up today for Village inspection.

  1. I prefer my non-reality based reading instead of construction. :)
