Backfilling the House Foundation

Ed backfilled the main house foundation today. I put up the second row of MiraDrain 5000 (Foundation Drainage Panel), as he backfilled.

Also started doing the basement floor prep work:
1) Pulling out the hay that lined the footer to protect it from last winter's frost. Ripping out all the grass/weeds that grew in there.
2) Leveling out the ground, about 3 in below the top of the footer. Excavator had to scrape the ground down in some spots, and add dirt to other spots.
3) Dumping in 3 inches of gravel base for the basement slab floor.
