Pumping mud to the underground/Carlos Pueblo
The third step of the fixing house foundation is pumping mud to the underground. After the pier installations to jack up the slab floor, the workers removed all dirt away from our house. The underground is assumed empty and required to fill it up with mud, a kind of mixture of cement and sand with water. This liquid mixture will be pumped through a small PVC pipe directed to the back yard holes and injected into the underground. It's taken about one and a half hours to fill one hole.
I asked the foreman to give me any of the left over sand to fill the ditch after all digging and heavy rain. He told me his company would send out truck with some cubic yards of dirt to cover up all holes and lower ground which would help us to repair our damaged yard.
Now, the foundation is fixed and we anticipate that will last additional 10 years. The next step is the covering dirt for the yard and the lawn repairs in March this year. Of course, I feel guilty that I shall be away from home for almost 2 months. It's all up to Amy to handle the rebuild contracts.
