That is a view of the garage foundation. The cutouts at the front are where the garage doors will go. The pile of dirt in the middle will get knocked down to fill the gaps between the pile and the walls. Then the garage floor will be poured on the dirt.
Here is a view of the rest of the house from the far side of the garage.
The square thing in the middle of the photo is where the stairs from the garage go down into the basement. Looking from the other end of the house toward the garage….
Nice space! The garage stairs are now at the back of the photo.
The black bucket in the middle of the floor is the sump. It will be put into a hole under the slab to catch any ground water that might come up. The sump pump will sit in it and pump the water out. We’ve got this all figured out.
