Jason finished filling in the hole in the foundation today, and we are in preparation for pouring the floor. We were able to get our weeping tile from a great friend of ours (thanks Cameron!) and we also had gravel delivered today. The plumber was here last night and he seems to think that all our plans are doable. Weeping tile around the perimeter of the foundation, to drain into the sewer. And the well will be filled with gravel and have its own drainage into the sewer and it will become part of the poured concrete floor. Hidden again for many more years to come. Jake dropped his hatchet down the well and figures he'll just leave it there for the next people to find! Right now we have a sump in the well that is keeping the water level under control.
Here is a pic of some of the rocks that were taken out of the floor while it was being dug. We hope to use them to make steps in the backyard as well as a retaining wall.
