dirt

thursday & friday i filled in the remaining spots of the floor sheathing. this involved additional blocking, as i wanted to use as much of the plentiful scrap i could. i went along in the crawl and knocked up any shiners, then pulled them and renailed those spots.

i also purchased a router and cut out the crawl access hole. first time using a router - very cool tool.

saturday, i went out to the site with shovels and rain pants. it sprinkled throughout the day. i spent a few hours picking through the giant dirt pile to remove any large chunks of CMU debris. this dirt will be backfilled against the crawl walls, and i want to minimize the possibility of any debris damaging the insulation or the wall itself.

i felt like a kid again playing in all that dirt. my hands are a little sore, but i'll get back out there today and hopefully go through alot more dirt. i'm only picking through the top half of the pile, as it'd be too much work to move the entire pile around.
