Guest bedroom and workshop foundation walls

Footing is plated and crawlspace floor is insulated in readiness for the foundation walls.

Walls nearly completed.  Made of PWF, a pressure treated wood suitable for below grade building. 

Blue skin applied, footing backfilled and plenty of frostshield installed all around.

Guest bedroom frost shield overlaps the frost shield under the deck.

All of the piers are wraped to prevent them from being lifted by frozen ground.  This heavy black plastic is re-purposed packaging material from the insulated concrete forms.  It will all be buried soon by the back fill.

Before the floors go on

Covered the floor of the guest building crawspace with insulation.  This building will not be heated in winter so the frost shield is applied everywhere to keep the ground beneath the footing from freezing.

Installed an 8'x24' floor in the main building crawlspace.  Constructed of left over bracing, forms, and sheathing used in the concrete construction.  A floor over the sand will make the space more useful for storage.   Finished bolting on the sill plate.  Finished installing 6 mil poly with a generous flap to cover the floor joist rim board, go under the wall and overlap the outside wall vapour barrier.
