Roughing In--and a setback


The concrete wall on the north side did not quite withstand the pressure of the fill,  and cracked all the way down.  The builder put up wooden cribbing to hold up the walls temporarily. When they pour the slab, they will fill the holes in the blocks with concrete and rebar to strengthen them.  It will delay things for a day or so, but at least it's repairable.

Today the plumber came out to do the roughing-in of the pipes, etc.  The inspector will check it soon, hopefully on Monday.

We hope that next week the foundation slab will be poured. Then the framing can begin!
