Egress Windows

Today I dug a lot more dirt out of 2 of the egress windows.  We rented a tamper to beat down the dirt since these windows had been back filled in and we hope to eliminate settling so the block walls in the windows don't shift.  Mike added in drain tile tubes into the window to the middle bedroom, digging in a pass through into that hole.  I dug out some of the class 5 we have along the driveway and Mike put that down at the bottom of the holes for a good base for the block wall.  We're hoping to start the block walls in the windows soon so the dirt sides don't cave in on our hard work!

More dirt pulled out....it was a muddy mess from the rain we got!
