Fallen way behind again but catching up!

Some pictures of the basement wall framing and some more pics of the backfill and initial grading.



Our well is finished now, over budget unfortunately.



And it seems that we got a few cracks in the foundation walls during backfilling.



Finally, since it has been getting very cold and our house isn't coming any time soon, we needed to insulate the footings to make sure that the earth under them would not freeze and "heave" them. The hay was full of black mold, and now so am I. :-(



I'm glad that we finally got some snow, and I'm hoping for a lot more, even though it may hinder the house project some. Winter without snow sucks!
