Step 10: Pour Basement Concrete

Today we poured the concrete for the basement floor.  The concrete floor is so much cleaner then the mud and dirt that was there before.  But before we could pour the concrete we had to make sure all the plumbing under the floor was completed and inspected.  And then we had to put in an 8" layer of gravel and poly for vapor barrier.
Now that the concrete is done, we can start framing the basement walls and install the furnaces.

Step 9: Roofing

Now that the framing is done, it is time for roofing.  The roof keeps the water out and it is important to get our house water proof as soon as possible so we can start doing more work inside.
Our roof starts with a layer of tar paper and then we nail down the shingles.  These shingles are Dual Black colour in the Cambridge style.  I like how they look.
