December 30, 2022: Backfilling

 Now that the underground drain is in, covered with fabric and gravel, and passed inspection, it is time to backfill along the outer side of the foundation.

But the dirt, previously removed and stockpiled to the side, is frozen and has to be broken up before it can be poured back into the trench.

Once in, the trench is backfilled.

And, of course, the snow covers all.
