Woohoo for the nicer basement

They finished a little after 6 p.m. last night. What they did was dig a trench about 10" wide by the walls. A waterproof fabric was hung on the walls which will direct water into the trench. I didn't see what was installed into the trench, but I think it was perforated piping that will pull the water from the trench when the sump pump is activated. I'm running late this morning (we stayed up too late last night), so I'll have to post pictures later.
