Color coding against backfill
Turquoise = spray coat waterproofing Rub-R-Wall. Dark gray = 10″ blocks of dark gray Neopor. Pink = vertical strips of pink XPS blocking the seams, board and batten style.
Order of backfill around the foundation
Course stone over the footing drain, followed by landscape fabric and gravel.
Poking out from under
These five conduits extend under the footing and emerge in the utility room. Going under the footing avoids piercing the wall. This is where we will run TV, telephone and electrical service.
