April 8, 2009 - Basement Sealer

Resulting in a form which I'm pretty certain could uplift monkeys or help turn Jupiter into a small star, the black tar which helps to seal the basement was applied around most of the outside of the basement walls.

A bucket of the sealing material.

Looking back at the house from a few feet in front of the debris field. Eventually, there will be another coat of the tar.

Looking at the entrance area from near the garage entrance.

The basement from afar. Only a portion of the garage is not coated yet.

April 6 - More Clearing

A bit of quick clearing around where the drain field occured and the debris field was moved tro the West side (and further away) for easier access to the house.

The expanded clearing for the drainfield (South of the house).

The relocated debris field (West of the house).

With so much of the lot cleared, it's interesting to consider what it looked like before we started. This is an aerial shot of the lot from Microsoft Live Search Maps with the property boundaries shown in red and the approximate house boundaries in blue. The ridge is on the South side, the field about half way back on the West. If you squint real hard, you can kinda make out the stream about halfway back on the lot and running along side the field.
