Waterproofing Part 2

The rubber was applied yesterday, but the post is coming out today.  The rubber is hard to see and may not show up well in the photos, but you can see it and feel it.

The contractor doesn't think we need a drain tile along the exterior of the footing.  I think we should have it for good measure, but understand that we do have some difficulty running it out to daylight or into a drywell deep enough and far enough from the house to provide any real value.

We have a drain tile on the inside running to the sump so any water that does come up from underneath the footing should go directly to the sump and be pumped out.

Tomorrow they plan to backfill the walls and dig the footings for the patio wall and screened in porch.  With the panoramic photos below we can compare tomorrow to see how much of the giant dirt hill we lose in the backfill.
