Jeff picked up 24 16' planks that we'll use for connecting three scaffolding towers along one wall. This will allow us to walk the entire length of the wall on two levels.

The remainder of the below-grade insulation glued and braced along the west wall. Once the building inspector gives us the "OK" on this insulation, we can push dirt against it and gain another 16" of scaffolding height.

The insulation on the east wall.

On the east side, John first used the excavator to pull some dirt back up alongside the house, then graded it with the dozer.

Working the east side.

Later in the day, Jeff added the insulation to the north wall.
