They've backfilled the porch area, garage, and perimeter around the house.
Picture
Basement bathroom plumbing, plus pipes laid in trenches. Also, remember that black coil of tubing from yesterday? Now it's been thrown over the wall... still don't know what it is though. In the bottom left corner you can see black tubing coming up by my window. I doubt that's its final location.
Picture
Different view from the left most corner of the front of the house, in front of the porch.. Also, I'm guessing that white machine in the background did the brunt of today's work.
 
Picture
There wasn't much in the way of visual change to take pics of that day, except for this coil of tub that I found on the side of the basement foundation. Not sure what that is...
 
Picture
They are starting to backfil my garage. Not sure what the black liner in the garage and porch are,about, maybe for moisture protection?
Picture
They're also starting to push the dirt back up flush against the house, so soon I'll have an a more accurate idea of the size and perimeter of my house.
 
Picture
The forms/molds have been removed and the walls are up. Not sure why the unexcavated garage peninsula isn't the full size of the garage though.
 
Picture
This barge of re-bar and wall forms/molds was sitting in my driveway this evening. By the way, it was pouring down rain, so sorry about the quality of these pics, but I was getting drenched!
Picture
They've poured the walls! You can see where the walk up doorway/entrance to my basement will be. The thin long rectangle directly in front will support the front porch.
Picture
Different angle. I couldn't get my usual angle from standing at the right corner stake because of the barge of materials and I wasn't going to trudge through the mud while it was raining. Something tells me though that men walked across this plank and walked on top of the walls. Cat like balance and burly construction guys just didn't go together in my head until now.
 
Picture
I'm guessing that the hole on the left is for all of my plumbing drainage.
Picture
Just showing the footers that will be supporting the porch.
 
Picture
I assume the higher peninsular out-jut will be my garage.
 
Picture
Look at the Tonka truck play!

Taken from my car - the trees stay.

They still had the available sign up, but it wasn't available at this point.
