I am a bit remiss in posting but things have been fairly busy with the preparations for selling our current house, our rental property in Kansas City, and trying to make some of the bigger decisions related to the new house.
Shortly after the pour of the basement walls, Doug hired a Waterproofer to come out and spray some latex material on the Nudura that would be below grade. I didn’t get to see the application apparatus but it sounded like a fairly straightforward application. I can tell I am knee deep in the construction process when finding out that I paid $1200 for some black paint that nobody will ever see doesn’t even give me pause.
As an added measure Doug put up some fan fold material around the outside - some of which he had lying around his shop. After that was all put on he started the backfill process, aided in no small part by Special K (his tractor) and the generosity of the gentlemen at Citywide. Apparently after years of working together Doug has become among their favorite customers and as a result they go out of their way to provide scrap concrete in both liquid and solid forms that helps with the fill.
Here is a glut of pics…enjoy.
