Livingroom Footings

The first task this week was to make more room to work! We moved all of the AmDeck and as much ICF as possible to the garage roof and stacked it pretty high!



I also took the forms off of the slurry backfill.


Most of the week was spent digging the livingroom footings. They are on two levels, the lower level behind the garage actually supports a wall that comes up in the middle of the livingroom floor, then the upper footing is at the same level as the floor. It's fun to be able to stand on the level and imagine the floor projecting out over the garage.


There is one part of the excavation that didn't go quite far back enough so a few days were devoted to removing this section of hill and carting it away. The dirt pile started growing and by the end of the week, the entire cellar level was covered with 6 feet of dirt!


It also started spilling down in front of the garage!


Next week I finish the living-room footings and get rid of some of that dirt!
