Basement - Wk 2 cont'd

This is taken from floor level looking east on the south side. The rebar sticking out of the wall is the 'pinning' to which I referred earlier. Basically they're drilling holes in the existing foundation, then sticking those 'pins' in and gluing them with this ridiculously strong epoxy. Tomorrow, they'll start putting more vertical and horizontal rebar in, then eventually they'll box it all in with plywood and pour new concrete out so it's flush with the footer you see at the bottom of the photo. That'll give us a tremendous boost in watertightness in the basement.
