You can see the dirt heaped up against the concrete footings. This provides better insulation for the 'crawl space' under the house. |
Here is the dirt heaped at the front of the house. |
We wrapped the building! This is just a wind and moisture barrier, stapled onto the underlying board. |
We got the water in! It was $7000 line tapping fee, plus dirt work on top of that. Not cheap... All lines are 6 ft under or more. You can see me in the trench below. It is DEEP! |
6 foot under... |
This is the water meter pit (!!!). Yes, it is about a 1000 gallon tank like thing, buried 6 ft under... |
I love the safety culture around here. Go ahead, ride in the concrete casket as it is lowered into the pit with no safety shoes, hard hat, hi vis or anything... |
So, this thing houses a water meter. It is 6 feet under, so it doesn't freeze in winter. Winter causes a lot of extra work around the place... |
