June House Project Notes

Digging the Foundation for the Garage

Now that the house foundation is mostly done the next step is the garage. Here the foundation is dug out.

Drains on Uphill Side

Uphill from the house we are adding a french drain to prevent water damage to the new foundation. Here is the east and north side drain pipe.

East Side Drain

North Side Drain

Once the drain pipe is in, and covered with rock and a soil barrier material it is backfilled and packed down.

East Side Drain

Deck Foundation

We have a deck planned for the south and east sides of the house. Here the pier footings are being set for the concrete piers for the south side deck.
