We visited the job site on March 30th to find a bigger, cleaner hole:
Things were starting to take shape...and fill with water! The trees being uprooted, left pockets of water in the ground, those pockets began pouring into our hole, causing a sump pump to be put in the hole to drain the water.
The sump pump was pretty effective at extracting the water but it did cause us to make the decision to put 2 sump pumps in the basement. Brown County is completely flat and notorious for bad drainage. We want to be safe rather than sorry so we paid an extra amount of money to add the second pump.
I tend to ask rather stupid questions regarding the building process and Kyle thinks it's comical. I was concerned that the "Walls" of the basement didn't look like 8 ft. tall walls. Kyle just chuckled and told me they will. Once again, my impatience is starting to get the best of me!
