Backfill is done

Image
 We filled in around the foundation now that the waterproof membrane and drain was installed. Even though we filled the holes, our dirt pile is larger again:) We will push over 2 mid sized trees and make the parking area larger with the extra dirt. Also found a massive boulder that was flat on top, have to turn that into something useful once we are done.

Ready for backfill

 We've made decent progress, after the ICF blocks were set we braced the inside walls, finished the rebar, and added knockouts for plumbing out and dryer vent. Also added conduits for water in, electric in, house bibs at 2 corners, and a couple extras just in case. Concrete pour went ok but had 1 blow out at a cut block so that was stressful but we got it stopped. Added 4" perforated pipe for drainage all the way around and the waterproof membrane. Should be backfilling this weekend!
