Backfilling the Foundation - 6 to 18 July 2011
There was a lot of backfilling to do. In addtion to the dirt around the outside edges, there was also the centre of the frost walls to fill in. We had trucked away 8 dump truck loads of dirt, but rather than just putting it back in, we decided to go with bread box size rocks, followed by fist size, ending up with class A gravel. Our excavation and foundation guy, Kerry Oickle, is great. He even replaced three fence posts that we had removed to enable the frost walls to be placed and replanted several shrubs and plants. His dexterity with a small bulldozer is amazing!
