Day 76: Drainage and POWER

On Friday, Raphael and Trevor attached J-Drain 400, a water drainage layer over the rubber membrane onto the portions of walls that will be underground. This layer will provide 2 functions:
  1. protect the rubber membrane beneath
  2. shed water quickly down the wall to the french drain
Here is a pic of the north wall with the J-Drain installed - it still needs to be trimmed to the same height as the rubber membrane. You can also see the first layer of the EZflow French Drain installed.

Erik hooked up power to the main distribution panel - a big milestone in the project. We now have electricity at several convenient places in the home.

The project is taking a week off for some well deserved vacations. I'll begin posting again around September 9th. Thanks for reading. I enjoy reading your comments.
