Day 19 - Pouring Concrete

Concrete footing being poured. Concrete is pumped 150 feet from a truck on the street. Using a special waterproof concrete admix also. At last minute decided to add plastic piping through footing that will later connect to drain tile system around perimeter of footing. You can see the white piping in picture above on the right side. Not really sure if this area has a water table problem since it has been a dry spring, but this is cheap insurance to have a dry basement. Neighbors that have basements don't have moisture problems, but you only have one chance to design it right. Concrete block basemeent walls will start being built Monday.
