Tomorrow we hope to pour the basement floor, front porch, and garage floor so today the guys came out to do the prep work. That mostly consisted of getting the gravel up to final level. We also met with our FM for a while to cover an array of topics. The most important to me was the sewer line in the basement did not appear to me to have enough (if any) angle downward (fall) in some sections. Our FM brought his laser to shoot elevations to check out the situation. After a lot of hard work with a shovel (thanks "M"), we improved the amount of fall. My nature is to worry about stuff like this, especially since it will be buried under concrete and not accessible. I've been assured it should be fine so I'll go find my next thing to worry about....
Shooting gravel in the garage to get to the right level.
Be sure to check out the video below!

Garage floor topped off and ready to pour. Can't wait!
Front porch ready to go with vapor barrier in place.
And what trip would be complete without our constant reminder that Mother Nature likes to Pi$$ on our parade? Glad the shingles are on but enough is enough already! The lot is a total wreck and our neighbors must be upset driving through the mud that keeps washing over the shared drive. At least it's on my property or I'd feel worse. Sorry for the rainy year we're having everybody. My bad for building a house.
