Building a Basement 101

There’s lots to do building a basement. First….get the ground as dry as possible, the gravel, then footers. We hired an company to help us with this work….but ya can’t get Tom out of a hole in the ground working along side the workmen. Notice the paid "worker" looking up at the birds while Tom digs out the foundation walls. Shovels, gravel and cement is just too enticing for Tom to ignore!
