More foundation work

Socked weeping tile being covered in stone.  ICF walls are waterproofed from top to bottom and over the footing to divert water to the weeping tile.

Weeping tile covered with stone.

Footing and weeping tile partially back filled and covered with 4 feet of R15 rigid insulation sloped away from the wall.

This is the area below the screen porch covered with the R15 frost shield.  Partially back filled on left side.

Interior bracing removed and piled.  4 inch pipe roughed in to carry flow from weeping tile to the sump.  Tile enters below footing in four places, once under each wall.

Area under the frost shield prepared by back filling to the top of the footing and the top of the pads on which the piers sit.  This is the area under the deck between the main cottage and the guest cottage.  Eventually, the entire excavated area will be covered with the frost shield which will be covered with fill to the top of the piers.
Waterproofing and frost shield of main cottage completed.
Building site was visited by either a bear or the building inspector.
