" Two weeks have gone by in real time, but Ted you've made a lot of progress and tell us how you got here."
" Yes, we did Bob. After the blasting, we had 2 days of excavation."
" Uh hmm!"
" And then we proceeded to get the foundation hall ready for sporting, and as you can see, the small amount of rock that we had blasted enabled us not to [unk] any material in to get our footing in."
" So, you could foot your footing forms right on top of the----"
" Yes sir, we could--"
" We could have a lot of spot and put it in."
" Yes. And then, there were 2 separate pours here right? One for the house foundation itself."
" Yes sir. There was one for the house foundation and then the second one was a [unk] because that was in an area we're gonna have a cross face and a garage where you'd only have to have a cross wall."
" Alright, so [unk]?"
" [unk]on blasted area."
" The actual process then involves forming up for the perimeter foundation of the house, full basement throughout."
" Yes it is."
" And then the secondary pour is the area where you just need a [unk] wall , which just goes down about 4 feet."
" 4 feet out to ledge, which in this case, it was 4 feet in to ledge."
" Okay. And that's the area that was just recently stripped and then of course they've gone to the process of waterproofing and backfilling, everything, and boy, if you look across you, you'd really get an idea what the site conditions are like this, that gap in the foundation is where you'll have your bucket entrance right?"
" Yes, you're probably approximately had 6 foot of excavation of rock."
" Look at all that material. And now, we are up to the point where you have our pressure-treated sill plate in placed [unk], and you use the same kind of steel sill down here that we used----"
" Yes."
" all over the place right?"
" Right."
" That product right there, which cushions and also prevent any kind of draft or cold air infiltration, and every, what is it? Every 2 feet or every 4 feet?"
" Every 4--"
" 4 feet."
" 4 feet and what kind [unk]."
" You have a bolt like this----"
" Yes."
" that was put into the concrete----"
" Yes."
" so that this is absolutely anchored down."
