we had to paint the entire exterior of the foundation with this horrible tar stuff, then we used drain board/roxul insulation to wick the water away when it comes into contact with the foundation.
Dad helped rebury the well pump lines that we redirected through the house rather than outside as they had been before
once all the insulation/drainboard was on, we covered the top 3' with galvanized mesh to hold on the cement parge. We had lots of onlookers and helpers to keep this phase moving along and always at the end of it, Kristine had a beautiful, delicious meal for us
when all this was done, we had a gravel truck come in and pour huge amounts of gravel around the perimeter, he was only able to access 2 sides of the house, so dad and I huffed all the gravel for the other 2 sides with a creaky old wheel barrow the dump manager gave us.
then the building inspector came again and gave us the next check mark and the go ahead to back fill
