Foundation waterproofing; door cutout

I have some catchup work to do on the house postings. The foundation is done and as you can see below the waterproofing has been applied.

Here's a shot of the waterproofing system applied to the outside of the foundation. A layer of some tar-like material was painted onto the concrete, then this fiberglass board stuff was stuck on. It also is nailed in place, with big nails and washers. In the back ground you can see several basement windows (or at least the cutouts where they will go). The window cutouts were made by building boxes the right size inside the concrete forms, so the concrete was kept out of those areas.


Here is a shot taken from the right side of the house, where the tandem garage is located. Eventually (hopefully next week!) a slab will be poured here for the garage floor. That probably will happen at the same time the basement floor is poured. There's an interesting feature that's not immediately apparent in this photo. Take a look at the outside (right) side of the garage -- see the cutout in the foundation wall? That's where an outside door will eventually go.
