Step 7: Backfill

The Backfill job is when they fill in the trench that was around the basement.  When we do this we also try to get the ground nice and smooth.  We had a little dirt left over but we will be using some of it if the ground sinks later. 

One important thing to remember is you have to make sure everything around the bottom of the house has been completed and inspected before filling in the dirt.

Now that the backfill is done, we are ready to start framing the house!
