Concrete Placement In Wall Footings Of New House In SouthEastern MI -- ANAND Enterprises Project CanD1J2303

 I was at the job site this morning to look witness concrete placement in the footings for walls of the new house. The footings were neatly dug up -- the bottom of the footings was dry, no debris no caving in of the sides of the footings. Because of load limit on the access bridge to the site small concrete trucks with 3 to 3.25 cubic yards of concrete were being used. The weather was nice, partly cloudy, calm winds, no rain. The concrete placement had begun at around 7:30 am.

The drain tile with the sock surrounded by peastone has been embedded in the trench -- the drain tile running along the the length at the back of the wall is sloped with a crown at length so the drain tile would spit out the water at each end. Following the natural contour lay of the area the surface from the the back of the wall has been graded to form a swale running along the length of the trench and the drain tile. The graded area from the trench line to the back of the wall has now been covered with top soil.












The drain tile has been laid in the trench surrounde bty pea gravel and now the trench has been covered with top soil. The next step is to spread some grass seed  and hooray we would be heading to the home stretch successfully completing the project soon.
