Foundation drains are in!

Perforated pipe with mesh sleeve carries water
around the house to a new drain
Bituthene waterproofing membrane is applied
on top of liquid sealer over the concrete
Gravel goes on top
The house is ready for today's rain, but we didn't think the drainage would get finished in time. Surprise! They finished it up today. We were a little worried about rainwater sitting next to the foundation, but we can now put those worries to rest!
The drainage was always a big wildcard in my mind in terms of time and expense, and I am so relieved that it is done!
