We received the delivery of nearly 20 tons of stone which will be used to fill in the foundation walls before the concrete slab is poured. Now it just has to be moved into place.

The under-slab inspection will hopefully be next week for that we will need the gravel in place, the final foundation insulation and a vapor barrier.

Come snow, sleet or rain – nothing stops the Habitat house.  All of the underground water and sewer lines were installed yesterday!  And, inspected.

Thanks to everyone who came out to volunteers today.  I know hauling dirt is not a glamorous job but it is critical to insuring our success.

We were able to accomplish a huge amount of work.  We successfully backfilled all of the trenches, dug a 4' pit to find the water access tube, knocked out a hole in the cement block foundation for our sewer access and make significant progress in the grading of the interior of the foundation.

We have posted pictures on our web site.
