January 10, 2006 – Basement walls were poured today and now they must sit for a week before any framing can take place on top of them. In the meantime, the moulds will be removed on the 12th and a water-proofing spray and fiberglass will be put on the walls to avoid moisture from being able to come through the cement. On Monday the 16th they will shore up the basement (re-inforce the walls from the inside) and backfill with stone on the outside of the walls, covering with dirt at the top… then on Wednesday the 18th, they will start framing out the house and hope to have the framing done in 10 days. As Kraig said, “No one gets paid for down-time!”
