The Foundation is Done

A view of the front of the house with the garage foundation on the right. The black coating on the walls is waterproofing.

Right side (garage side) of the foundation. The seemingly black filled rectangle is the garage foundation. Presumably this area will be filled and then a slab will be poured.

A closeup view of the area way exit from the basement.

A view of straps to connect the foundation to the first floor structure to come.

A view from the front right corner of the foundation looking back across the whole foundation. You can see two beam pockets. One is right below the right side of the big window of the house next to us. The other is in the upper left hand corner of the area way.

Another view looking towards the left side of the foundation.

In this picture you can see all three basement windows (outlined in the light blue tape) and the area way. Two windows are in the forefront and one window and the area way are in the background.

"Wings" were added to the foundation to give it extra strength since there is a hill in the back of the house. You can see one in the foreground. Here it extends from the back of the foundation. It's hard to see because it's covered in the black waterproofing.


A view from the back right corner of the foundation looking back across the whole foundation. You can also see that they only covered, with waterproofing, the walls of the garage that also form the basement.
