We have reached the point where we finally can see the end product!
Early in the week, the team had the gravel delivered. Wheelbarrow by wheelbarrow, the entire basement was covered to create a layer between the sand and future cement. The gravel also was used to hold the weeping tile in place that runs around the foundation as part of our internal waterproofing. The combination of the gravel and the dimple membrane on the foundation walls made a huge difference in making the space feel like an actual room!
Once the gravel had dried and acclimatized for a two days, Friday we had concrete delivered! After waiting 24 hours, we could explore the new space on Saturday morning with our contractor to check out the work and review the design for the walls! The fun stuff!
This upcoming week will be framing, and starting the finishing of HVAC, Electrical and Pipes.
Gravel!

Lined up and ready to be dumped in through the window.
We had an entire cement truck for ourselves! 
This picture was taken from the stairs as the concrete was still wet.
We can’t wait for new windows!
