Backfill complete

Water line digging did not begin today, but they did finish the backfill for the foundation.  They actually had to truck in some extra dirt as they removed a bit too much during the initial excavation.

The only area left to be filled in is around the sewer line, which they left extra dirt for.

Anyways, it's great to finally have level ground back there again and to have the two windows wells in place.  Although now it's just a bunch of dirt and will promptly turn to complete mud the next time we get rain.  I'll happily trade that though.

I do need to check with them next week to make sure there is plenty of sloping away from the foundation.  Pretty sure they did it right but I want to be sure.

They also went ahead and dug the hole for my drywell, which will save me a whole bunch of digging.
