The fill process took several days of waiting for material from Citywide - hard to justify the price of a load of clean gravel with the price of fuel and the ready availability of near-free scrap fill. As that went on Doug screened and hired a plumber to, well, plumb the basement.
He had a crew of three that got the job done in a few days, after which Doug put Special K to work again filling in with some clean small gravel to get everything leveled out.
Here are some shots of the process. That long grey tube you see running into the side of the house is filled with Boulevard Pale Ale to keep everybody hydrated as they work in the hot sun.
