Over the last few days we have been doing punch list work,finishing up odds and ends, at the new build in Nelsonville. We want to finish up all of the little jobs before we move on to the next step of applying the tongue and groove pine to the ceiling and walls. While this punch work is important, I don't particularly want to write about it. I thought that it would be better to go back to the beginning of the build and catch up.
We hired a local excavator to cut in the driveway, clear the space for the house, and dig the basement. After 10"x24" concrete footers were poured, my masons came in and built the basement walls using 8" concrete block. The walls were then grouted, a process in which concrete and steel reinforcing is inserted into the voids of the block, to add strength and stability.
