Front foundation wall

We have been blessed with some great winter weather for foundation work, at least by New England standards. Shown below is the front (up hill) foundation wall being back filled. The second picture shows someone tamping down the fill. The third picture is looking north from the kitchen end toward the bedroom end. The last picture features Deb standing where the door to the basement rec room will be, looing out toward the lake. Next week, some lumber arrives to begin framing, and the entry and garage frost walls will be poured.
