Walls, damp proofing and drainage

On Monday November the 4th we stripped the footings and started setting the wall forms.  Underground plumbing was installed and all  inspections were completed. Walls were poured on Wednesday and stripped on Thursday.  On Friday morning the foundation damp proofing was completed, 4" perforated pipe was installed for the weeping tile, 1" washed broken rock and landscape fabric was used to  cover all the weeping tile.  Rainwater drain lines were installed at the 4 corners of the house.  Weeping tile and rain water leaders all drain to a 7' x 7' x 8'deep rock pit.  The rock pit was filled with 3"-6" cobble and protected with landscape fabric.  Back filling was completed on Monday November 11th.
