Pouring Basement & Garage Floors

We held off on the basement and garage floors until we were sure that the ground was not frozen anymore and for the warmer temperatures. Once the water was hooked-up, Bill also flooded the garage to help the fill settle and then we added a few feet of crushed stone and used a compacting machine. The garage also got wire mesh to prevent cracking and we added control joints in the basement for the same purpose.  Now we can finish up the HVAC work and add the basement and garage stairs. In the basement picture, you can also see where we put conduit in the floor and plumbing for down the line if we want to finish the basement. This way we won't have to trench the floor afterwards.
