After the ICF pour completed last Wednesday the crew came back Thursday to remove the bracing and scaffolding. I planned to start looking at waterproofing over the weekend, but ended up just doing general site cleanup + dump run on Saturday and then rain ensued until Monday am.
Monday morning Mike from Catapult Heavy Construction came out and began back filling the interior of the foundation, digging out the sewer and other utilities and installing the storm water and footing drains.

Monday afternoon/evening Janene, and I attached Henry's Blueskin WP 200 peel and stick water proofing membrane to the below grade areas of the foundation. For those of you who have never handled this stuff. The Youtube videos are misleading. It's sticky, fairly heavy and takes a bit of practice. We did get fairly proficient with it, and I came back the next day and sealed all of the seams. I'm feeling very confident we will have a dry basement. Where is some wood to knock on? The next step we started today was to protect this incredible waterproofing membrane from all the rocks during backfill. To prevent this travesty we installed SuperSeal dimple board. It's more of a damp proofing product, but will protect against rocks and provide another layer of protection.
