We did not go to the site at all on Saturday. The boys school had a May Faire and we had friends over for dinner. Today, however, we worked at the site most of the day. After King Bros stripped the forms on friday they applied a waterproofing, aka tar, to the outside of the foundation. We spent the day putting 2 inch rigid foam insulation over the tar. Not only does it protect the waterproofing, but it adds substantial insulation and a thermal break to the concrete walls. This makes the interior dry and warm. Our other scheduled job, prep the floor with insulation and a vapor barrier before pouring concrete over it, is postponed until later this week due to the possibility of rain
Our friend Andy and his son Mateo spent the day helping. All three boys assisted with bringing over sheets of foam and fresh tubes of glue when they weren't playing on the digger left by the excavators.
