We are done! Well, except that we're waiting for windows to finally arrive in a few weeks. But for now, at least, we are done!
Last week (and one day this week) was all about the foundation, and wrapping up the odds and ends.
For the foundation, they added concrete to that soft spot in the back corner (doesn't need to be replaced outright because it's right next to the brand new foundation from 2014), put in some more bolts, and then covered the entire interior face in a plastic mesh, and put a kind of stucco over the top to stop the surface deterioration.
Here's a section that shows the finished stucco coat, the in-progress stucco, and the mesh:
They also added a coating of stucco to the exposed exterior face of the south side of the foundation, just for good measure (all the other exterior faces are covered or are not accessible).
They patched up the big critter holes:
And they also attached long boards to the studs, to help with structural stability in an earthquake:
Then it was a couple other odds and ends, cleanup, and then good bye!
Looking forward to putting everything back together in the garage this weekend, and life getting back to normal.
Then onward to the garage door and new house numbers!
