Part 7/11:
An important part of the project involves extending the foundation around the structure for better water drainage and protection. He explains that he extended the foundation by about two feet, choosing practical solutions over aesthetic ones—such as installing flashing to prevent water intrusion rather than elaborate repairs. This area, especially where water might pool or flow downhill, requires careful attention with rocks and protective membranes.
He jokes about not having a jackhammer available to remove the entire foundation and humorously teases a friend for missing the opportunity to do so earlier in the build.
